My strategy/advice would be to take one vacant unit and renovate it with a light-colored luxury vinyl (waterproof so it can go in kitchens and bathrooms), repaint and do a few small improvements in the unit and try to get a substantial rent increase.

One stop seems well suited for rental income of 700-1000 and property value ranges of 75k to 200k or so.

I simply wanted to know if that is compliant with CA's RE bureau, for future reference.Last message (txt) was from listing broker/dual agent that that Escrow was opened, and so I dropped off the 10K check to the Escrow company indicated in CAR form's Joint Escrow Instructions, which shares same exact address as Listing Broker, just a different suite letter, ie B in of A, and haven't heard back from dual agent since, but assume once contract is executed, brokers move onto their next deals and become 'scarce'.Anyways I had asked for 4wks close then 3wks close but broker kept 2wks close on the offer as its cash so let's see if we actually do close on their preferred timeframe of 2wks which would be 2nd week of Nov; there are NO contingencies other than Title clearing so I see no reason why the heck not, yet remains to be seen!

However, it seems most of this glut is in the luxury market.

I would not even have named the current occupant as styled the suit as: Myself vs Original tenant and all other occupantsA couple of other questions and observations just to help:-I would go to your profile and change it to just your initial so this thread cannot be googled by the occupant-Did you seek a monetary amount or just possession? 

Hotels and luxury high rises are already going up few streets away.

Has anyone ever performed a quiet the title law suit in Alabama and won or lost?

I want to sell by qcd cause I don't want to bother suiting to quiet the titles.

I'm adding a bedroom to make it a 4/2 with Master Suite. 

We're both loud on the phone, and it's a luxury to have a completely separate space.
