True, Republicans in 2025 will control the White House and both chambers of Congress.You can easily Google how the legislative process works or just trust my Cliff Note: having a simple majority usually does NOT assure that Congress passes any bill, including tax bills.

Mitchell,I am going to give you some advice to help you avoid getting to far into the DSCR process and losing money. 

@Salome DitmarsThe advise you received on your post will take you some time to process.

@Hsin-I Hsu  Owning a $2.5M house can be an expensive commitment, not just because of the upfront down payment but also due to the ongoing expenses for repairs, maintenance, and upgrades that inevitably come with homeownership.Renting at $5K a month, especially for a 4-bedroom house in the Bay Area, seems like a solid deal.

How long does the legal process take, and can we move in and live in the unoccupied floors while the situation is being resolved? 

We've had a tenant move out with no maintenance issues requested for months, only to find many in our MoveOut process or when a new tenant moves in.

This entire process takes 5 minutes, not including the time it takes to video the home.

Are there companies that specialize in helping with this process?

The landlord can then proceed with the eviction process in court if the tenant does not remit payment.

(Tedious process)Unlike my other properties, where most applicants meet the criteria and need to see the unit to decide if they like it, this particular unit appeals to almost everyone (In this demographic)—but many fail to meet the qualification requirements.
