I would only hire out for major work I can't do myself or emergency repairs.I've dealt with older houses before and the house may be fine for occupants but there's still usually lots of things that can be fixed / improved so it seems a house that isn't perfect would give more opportunities for ongoing maintenance of this sort.To me it seems fairly straightforward to meet the time requirements but I think I need to have extensive documentation?

Some fair criticism for sure.

Fair point! 

And Sylva faired pretty well through the storm...in case you decide to buy there. :) And if you need a rockstar buyer agent recommendation, I can definitely share some. 

regarding AB 2424, how would they determine fair market value?

If they are VERY professional, they will have their processes in writing as verification that policies are enforced equally and fairly by their entire staff.6.

Hi @Andrew Freed, It is fairly recent, it has been about a year and a half since it passed. 

Perhaps I should take a fair amount of time (1-yr minimum) to build up enough capital, and make repairs. 

I've been in the real estate game for over 20 years and have done my fair share of transactions, including condos and multifamily properties.

Luckily, there is a long trail of litigation under the Fair Housing Act 1934 and the AFH Amendments of 1988 which established the legal grounds for those in recovery (by definition "disabled") to live together in a single family home.
