After all is accepted by the Housing Authority with the booklet, they will schedule an inspection where they come out and check a list of items including looking for peeling paint, windows open/close/lock, smoke detectors /co detectors / fire extinguishers all in the right locations, GFI receptacles in the correct locations, grounded receptacles if 3 prong (ground not needed if 2 prong), and the list goes on. 

“Deal dog” daily email sends me the same crap from Craigslist (other wholesalers listing properties) and auction.com (exclusively foreclosure auctions).My three day cancellation window has passed, but one more strike (testing again tomorrow), and I will fight tooth & nail for a refund.Not happy thus far...  

Currently, there's still very few MF syndication that could accept 1031 exchange to their syndication, thru TIC mechanism.The problem from the technical side is only timing, you just need to time it correctly for that 6 months window to close.

The tiles has to wrap around all the way to the window where it is just tiles-caulk-window. 

Hey everyone, I know having central air for rental properties over window units can make things a lot easier and beneficial.

I will be looking at vinyls floors, new cabinets, countertops, windows, doors and bathroom redo.

If the houses look run down, not kept up, it's most likely not Class A  and look at what's surrounding the neighborhood as far as types of businesses (check cashing, bars on their windows).Bay Area (it can be neighborhood by neighborhood and street by street) I don't know the Peninsula well but expensive Palo Alto would be Class A to me:Class A: Orinda, Lafayette, Moraga, Walnut Creek, San Ramon, Danville, Dublin, Pleasanton, maybe parts of Pleasant Hill and Concord, parts of  Pinole?

Secondly, the property itself has had a lot of non paying tenants in the past so for me personally, not sure if that local neighborhood is really a winner for me.  1031 exchange requires you to replace the property within a certain period of time and i just cannot find anything in that short window. 

Purchase price: $1,075,000 Cash invested: $160,000 Indulge in modern luxury at this fully renovated 4-bed, 2.5-bath home boasting new roof, AC, windows, and pool equipment.

My PM has a standard/automated notice that goes out in the 2-day and 7-day windows, but this doesn't seem to be very effective.
