Do you see any new rental property up in the market has increased rent since L.A. fire issue?

I purchased this before deciding to get in to real estate.I am trying to decide if I should rent the property out or sale it to buy something with long term investment in mind.

I definitely don't recommend renting to a friend.

I wanted to share my experience in working with Rent to Retirement and @Zach Lemaster.

@Patrick Drury what did you think of Propertyware and Rent Manager?

This would let you rent out the house for the next 3 years if you wanted and still get to take the gain.  

He'll still be renting - just from you instead of others, and at all the costs to you that you have enumerated.Your son doesn't "need" to buy a house.  

If the unit is empty, change the locks, clean it, and get it rented.

Yes, you can deduct the 8 days rent from the security deposit.

This influx is limiting rent growth nationwide, particularly in the Sun Belt, where oversupply has led to rent declines.Nationwide, vacancy rates edged down to 7.8% as move-ins outpaced move-outs.
