Also, the realtor bases the asking price of the lot on the village  property tax assessment of $30,000. 

Hello, so my friend purchased a home built in 1961 in Ventura county (Moorpark/Thousand Oaks/Westlake Village/Simi/Agoura area) with popcorn ceilings with the intention to rent it out and/or Airbnb part of it.  1) Should they get an asbestos company to come out and test it or do it themselves? 

Absolutely love the area and the village office has been great to work with.

Very energy efficient and near the Rockwater Village development.Because I am new at this and we bought another home because my wife and I are expecting our first baby :) I am strongly considering using a property manager (worried about time and attention with the newborn).

The "Catskills" span quite a distance, so I can't help with much else other than the village/town of Catskill itself.

Make sure to stop in at the village hall and meet the folks in the building department.

School district is obviously a huge differentiator in price and if you aren’t an amateur cartographer you will have a hard time navigating the city/town/village boundaries which can have minimal relation to the postal mailing city which has minimal relation to the school district. 

Hi, So my friend recently bought a single family 4 bed/2 bath house in the Simi Valley/Thousand Oaks/Moorpark/Newbury Park/Westlake Village area.

It actually has very good dual ADU potential which I considered a plus when buying,  but at this point I have no intention of building out as such.I support some of the changes to SF zoning since as we all know the only long term way to keep housing costs under control is keep building,  and while seattle does have lots of capacity in its urban villages and L zoned areas,  adding more ADUs is the least negative-impact way to achieve some higher density in existing single family zoned neighborhoods.  

I have my eyes on a few areas actually: West Town, Ukrainian Village, Humboldt Park, Pilsen, and Bridgeport.
