Like if you work for AT&T I don't want the main # to AT&T or even human resources. 

So means we have to give him more cash to complete.Later we found out actually the scope of work he only did 40%, yes ,he steal half of our money.Then Rene emailed to R and S to request them to terminate the JV, S present both our LLC and their LLC signed company name and date , however nobody’s signature on the termination JV, Rene and I didn’t sign though. they also signed and notarized the lien waiver and release then emailed to us.S also claimed that she will put 5k to the house to complete , no proof that ever happened.And then S brought second unlicensed contractor J on board, they both lied to us he is licensed . we signed contract 40k ish to finish the house , 3 phase .And 10k to put appliance /AC is excluded.At first I wanted the rehab money should be like :I wire to contractor business account directly and we wanted pay 50% upfront and the balance we pay upon complete.However S insisted the rehab money has to wire to her personal account and she will pay to the contractor ,she said contractor don't want to talk to us ,just want to work with her, if she manage the project ,we have to wire her money and let her to do the work ,so we wired 50k ish to her.The second contractor J quit at phase 2 and S showed me the check that she paid J 2 phases full amount $29k even contractor didn’t finish the job, S blame on contractor J and they are not longer working together so she can not get him back to finish the job or refund the unfinished job money.And then she hired third contractor to finish the house , cuz the money has already spent most of it, therefore the house is incomplete when we put in the market.

I just rented a small 2 bedroom for $1000 and had over 200 requests online asking tor rent.

Sometimes you can get single family to multifamily (or R-1 to R-2) but commercial to residential is much more difficult.

The tenant needs access to phone services and it's not our place to assist AT&T or any other provide with their marketing of cellular service.IMO, it was a big mistake to obliterate all phone jack plates and a few should have been retained in the rehab. 

In addition to R. control, we also have eviction control, thus even if the lease is over, you can't just ask a tenant to leave. 

@Nimrod Bar tor I am not sure which area of the city our properties are in, but have you factored in your rental increases to see if the taxes have actually hurt them?

@Tor LemhagCap rates are only used on 5+unit buildings and other commercial properties like office buildings and retail.For residential properties (1-4 units), it would still be based on comparative analysis of other homes in the area.

@John Ludwig As a first step, I would send a letter to the planning department with the subject APN and a description of what you would like to do with the property i.e. zoning amendment from R-6 to R-7.
