I'm Tech alum and I instantly fell in love with the real estate market out there!

I see a lot of coach houses in Lakeview/LP/Wicker that have an HOA fee even though they are completely detached dwellings (maybe because they share the same pin?).

I am part owner of an LLC which holds our two rental dwellings.

Residentshall be responsible, at Resident’s expense, for hauling to the dump those items too large to fit in the trash containers.Resident shall not dispose of any flammable liquids, rags or other items soaked with flammable liquids or any otherhazardous material in trash containers or bins;(b) to properly use and operate all electrical, gas and plumbing fixtures and keep them as clean and sanitary as theircondition permits;(c) to keep the premises and furniture, furnishings and appliances, and fixtures, which are rented for Resident’s exclusiveuse, in good order and condition; that all rooms on the premises and all appliances and fixtures on the premises must beable to be used for their intended purpose(s);(d) not to willfully or wantonly destroy, deface, damage, impair or remove any part of the structure or dwelling unit or thefacilities, equipment, or appurtenances thereto or to permit any person on the premises, to do any such thing;(e) to occupy the premises as a residence, utilizing portions thereof for living, sleeping, cooking or dining purposes only whichwere respectively designed or intended to be used for such purposes.

Unless you have a track record with selling lots/converting existing single family homes into multifamily dwellings this is a pretty high risk deal.

But I would consider splitting that off into the separate unit for a rental when you sell ---  of course you'd want to run the numbers/explore the market to see whether the duplex or SFH would give you the best valuation.In an effort to produce more affordable housing, CA is in favor of garage conversions (amongst other things) to create ADUs ('accessory dwelling units'). 

If you receive rental income from the rental of a dwelling unit, there are certain rental expenses you may deduct on your tax return.

When we know there is a pet, we will perform routine inspections of the dwelling (which is a clause listed in the pet addendum) to ensure there's no damage being done to the property (outside of normal wear & tear).

Being zoned as Ag the county most likely will not allow any additional dwellings to be placed here.

If it's a good deal out there it will gone instantly.
