(I was a stay at home mom when I did my last big project, and really had all the time in the world.)

Hi Ursula,Even though this post is a few months old, I thought I’d chime in just in case you’re still working through this or for future projects.

If the house is older than 15 years old and an ADU is added, it can become rent controlled.

The notice may be delivered in the following ways: Personally handing the Notice to the TenantGiving the Notice to someone who is at least 13 years old and who is at the Tenant's home Mail the Notice by Certified Mail with a Return Receipt from the TenantLeaving the Notice on the Ground in front of the Tenant if they refuse to accept itPosting the Notice of the door of the premises if nobody is living thereCounting the Notice Period.

I feel like a 100 year old home is going to have a lot of problems even it's renovated - if I hold it long enough it'll appreciate but will my appreciation outweigh all my repairs and Capex.

The gurus apparently aren't savvy enough to teach how to avoid trouble.It could end up being like a cowboy fest campfire dinner of beans from the old chuck wagon.

If the house is older than 15 years old and n ADU is added, it can become rent controlled.

The problem is these homes are 60-120 years old and because of the low value neighborhoods, nobody has ever made any capital improvements beyond duct tape.

And what is this air of superiority in this place..so in your little internet world 21 posts means you're less of a human being, gotcha, again that's in your little internet world 

Wanted to introduce myself.
