How about in Napa city? There are many 500K homes also right?

I would welcome a good broker referral. Please send me an email.

I am looking at investing in Napa Valley CA for an Airbnb property. Are there any restriction from the county/city?

$1000

But how to evaluate a fair amount to deduct?

I am planning to sell my regular rental to buy an Airbnb investment property. I would need to furnish it entirely. Can I deduct all those expenses from my 1031 proceeds (tax free)?

My tenants 1 year lease ended but I noticed 4 dents on the brand new stainless fridge (1 year old). 2 on the side due to a door banging on it repeatedly and 2 on the front. The panels cannot be changed. Can I deduct anything form the deposit? This is in California.

What are the best banks to get HELOC in California?

Is it still possible to make money with fixer uppers in San Francisco?

I am selling a home and will have $300K to spend. Any advice to do fixer upper? (how much to spend on the house vs. renovations)

Any specific website to search for fixer uppers?

Is 1 month the max fee I could charge? What if the place is empty for 2 months? (if I get it back at Thanks Giving and want to charge a high price)?

Can I request a 60 days notice or California is only 30 days?

I am a landlord in California. I have to renew a lease in May, but my tenants informed me he wants to do month-month in order to buy a home. I don't want to do that a prefer a yearly lease. He asked me what the penalties would be if he breaks a 1 year lease (like 6 months into it after he found place to buy). What consequence can I have for my tenant if she breaks such lease? How high could I go with a penalty? Can I simply refuse to renew the lease for the tenant?
