Hello BP Community,

Does anyone know how to file a Quit Claim Deed in Northern California, Alameda County specifically? I know I can go through a lawyer but I was told it is a fairly simple process hence want to DIY.

Regards,

Xuming

Thanks everyone to answer my questions. I actually cleaned the unit once when I moved out by hiring a professional cleaner. In my opinion, Kitchen area is not dirty at all but there are definitely gonna be signs of someone lived here before. I guess the Tenant was being picky about it and I told the PM to handle it professionally. As for the window blind, I told the PM that if the tenant complaints multiple times, I would just replace it eventually.

Hi BP community,

The property is located in Northern California, specifically in the Bay Area. The tenant signed the lease with the property management company about a week ago. Today, the property management company contacted me and relayed the tenant's concerns:

  1. 1. The tenant reported that the kitchen has minor stains and is requesting that I pay for an additional cleaning service.
  2. 2. A week ago, when I last visited my condo, everything was in order. However, today the tenant claimed that a blind suddenly fell.

My question is, do I need to cover the costs for these repairs?

Does anyone know which insurance company still writes landlord policy in Richmond area/Condo (94804)? I tried contacted a couple of the insurers over the weekend and they all rejected my inquiry.

 Sounds like a good idea for the meetup.com and the FB group. Thanks for the ideas, Nathan!

Post: Obtain ADU permit in Alameda, CA

Hi Xuming

I can probably help. I know those houses in Alameda sometimes don't have the full required 7' in the basement, but that's stuff that can be figured out.

DM me if you are still looking for an architect - I am an affordable one! I'm in East Bay too

Connection request sent and looking to discuss more.

Hello all,

I am new but not so new in the real estate world. I got interested in Real Estate when I was in college but didn't really do anything with it other than getting a real estate license and read some books. Since then I've focused more on tech and working as an engineer. Currently owning two properties and looking to connect with fellow investors in the East Bay area. Do you happen to know any good meet up groups or anyone looking to take a mentee? I can help out with your analytic works in return.

Regards,

Xuming

Hi All,

I am looking to convert the basement into an ADU hence I will need to interact with local authority in order to obtain the building permit. If you've worked with some affordable Architects in Alameda, CA, could you please recommend them to me?
