It was an incredible soap opera, and incredibly hurtful.On lost rent - good luck.

The backups were the proverbial hair/soap/gel sludge/bobby pins etc 'rats' you often see.

@Tom Makinen exactly, and even the people that have money may struggling investing in CA still.

I can furnish a 2 bedroom for $3.5k (including labor) and a 1 bedroom for $2.5k including labor.Some units have more amenities than others depending on the building but we offer soap, conditioner, razors, ect.

Another issue is residual laundry soap in swim suits (if they wear anything) as it can generate a lot of foam, so we use a little dash of an anti-foam product to eliminate it. 

Extreme example; inspector cited a landlord for not having a soap dish for the bathroom sink.

Moses Lake, Soap Lake or Quincy may be on my radar.  

Thus, the MAO would be $67,500 which is much closer to the $75K calculation.I'll step off the soap box now...2) Your agent represents you and should be the person you rely on for accurate market knowledge including comps, rental rates, etc.

stepping down from soap box now"

I know many people in CA still stick relatively close by purchasing in AZ, NV, CO, etc.
