there’s a lot to learn for consumer protection on cslb.ca.gov website, go to consumers section. then to search a contractor within your area, there is a new search feature that can zero it in by zip code. contractors mostly never really guide you the dos and donts, they are in the business of contracting not consulting, so you will need to learn that on your own. if not that, then hire a project manager or contract manager if you don’t know what your doing.

Susan O. Sorry, I won’t be reading your long post nor do anything that will “fight” for anything. One thing that I know is, if it is a law, it must be followed - your opinion will not matter, they are laid out in black and white. I apologize but I hate activists both for and against anything. You can go ahead and submit your concerns but other than that, why not keep it to yourself, and maybe to your closest friends, i mean, why bother anybody else when say for people like me, find it a waste of time.

Then stick to rehabs. In my opinion it all depends on your opinion and time you look at the start and end of it

Test him out, 12 an hour is nothing.

When there are people out there who are considered activists for rent controls and fighters for the low income, there are also the opposite, investor activists who want to get the best bang for their buck. This will be one of the main reasons why I will not be a househacker or be a landlord in general. My take on this will be, just be rigorous on your screening and letting your guard down is not what you can afford. With regards to price points, it will be the same story, it will be a low entry when you buy and low exit when you sell, if you bought high, then that’s on you, if you already bought and feel that didn’t see it coming, maybe you should sell today. Government officials will always side the lower end of the spectrum as they are more pain in the behind rather than those people who can afford to lose a little or big, versus than that of them if they lose a little, will lose everything and government will have to spend for them, the government will try to avoid this cost if there is another alternative.

What keeps him from running away with your money? A solid contract, his license, and a contractors bond.

Probably still tire kicking.

Shaun Alexander To be blunt, there are too many words to read, back referencing, and too many emotions. What about thisc state the facts per timeline. Remove those emotional statements and maybe it can yield you more appropriate responses.

Eric Gadus Those are all BS contractor talk. Get a permit, liability and risk isn’t worth without a permit, who will inspect it if not the city? do you know all the codes to inspect it? He is playing you. To get the permits is easy, or hire someone to do it for you, once plans are approved, shop around and blacklist that contractor if i were you.

Maybe not an addendum, that would be too much work, use a deductive change order.
