The previous landlord (mom & pop operation such as ours) was stunned and very grateful to receive the call and the money due to him.

The answer to that would help me personally focus on where I might focus my efforts.I agree that an alarm system would be pretty pricey - I'd probably go on amazon, find some fake security camera domes, find a couple "Smile, you're on camera" signs, and put one of each up at key entry points around the property.Side note, make sure you disclose the break-in to your end buyer once you're in escrow, in order to protect yourself.

I do you a solid, you do me a solid.

When I was done showing how shower curtains work, they look stunned and said "oh, never knew that".

I do have a local property management agent I can have go by the house but I don't know what good that will do me if I don't plan to take legal action to terminate the lease. 

I was more than a little stunned when the sheriff attended the next neighborhood watch,  and announced that since he had threatened to kill me,  he could be shot on sight.  

As long as the Dome is installed correctly into the roof of course LOL. 

And I am just stunned that you’ve been in this for that long, and in California.

I would change the title to Stunning 4br / 3ba  available oct 1

I also want to clarify that I do not charge for tax advice and am always looking to help answer those questions.Also please do me a favor anytime any of you talk to a CPA...
