Mayor Tim Sandoval and several other Councilmembers listened to proposals for rent control from RSG (consulting firm out of Vista, CA).

I'm Tanner from Southern California.

In a state like California, there is a set-up charge of a couple thousand and a yearly fee ( to the state) of $800.

I don’t know about Ohio but here in California a property must have a heater to be habitable, however air conditioning is entirely optional.  

Kind of out in the middle of nowhere, but my son just started college at Tarelton and we live in CA, so its on my radar now...university has plans for big growth in the next 5-10 years. 

Tenant protection issues - We’re in CA and introduction of limits on rent increases so want to be sure that we have the lease structured so the tenant reverts to a market rate rent at the end of the 3 year period or moves out if unwilling to pay that rate.I’m struggling with the 3 year lease being long, I don’t think I could enter an indefinite (til death) lease.Another thought what if one spouse dies and the survivor remarries a younger person?

I am here in southern California and homes are still selling in less than 2 weeks.The agents that price the homes correctly will get multiple offers and sell in less than 2 weeks.The agents that price the home extremely low for marketing purposes will get 20 offers on a home.I tend to price the home slightly higher than the market and see if any buyers will bite, if not we typically adjust the price down over a course of 30-60-90 days down to the price where we start to get showings and offers. 

Good Afternoon BP Community,I am excited to purchase my first investment property (Duplex in Sacramento, CA) the duplex purchase price is $600,000 and there currently are tenants at the property.

I'm going to guess.....you moved from California? 

I'd say the majority of our members/guests are actually out of state BRRRR investors too. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/1201427-re-o...Our speakers this month are actually out of state investors in (Oxnard, CA to Ohio) who were recent guests on the BP Podcast.
