Don't be too excited!

Deals in oakland for commercial residential propertyies are still available.  The question is, local policy is lean on tenant protection, not property owner! Think twice, three times, do your DD before jump in.  There are, I mean it, there are tenants, NOT paying any rent, but you can't sue and get rid of them. Good tenants are , possbly, learned and trying to be bad ones, not reasonable, especially to you, an out of state owner, more likely, headaches will follow. I have heard too many cases landlord get involved with non-paying situations, and broke.... Don't believe me? good luck. Of course, not all houses has the same ending. BTW, I'm a local agent in San Francisco Bay Area.
