Here in CA, i believe there are anti-discrimation laws that state a landlord cannot discrimate on the SOURCE of the income, nor can they refuse households based on the sex of the applicant, or the number of applicants.While i totally understand the first 2 (source of income, as long as legal, and sex of applicants) I dont understand why if you are renting a studio with zero bedrooms, you can't limit the occupancy to say one person.Thoughts?

We didn't have a lot growing up (single parent household), and I think that had a lot to do with making me this way. 7.

., The rents here in South California are low, purchase prices are high, and I just sold a condominium here that I was in the negative with rent income.

hi gys -i've closed on a foreclosed property.we're now getting ready to sell it.the unit is vacant. its a high grade quality condominium - but has no light fixtures from the builder in living room and bedrooms -that is typical in these developments.something obvious that i did not realized until now was that most lighting in occupied units come from floor lamps and custom fixtures installed by owners/ tenants - all of which is now gone since they moved out.so now i feel that even if we put the best quality floors and paint in this unit - it wont show half as good as a staged house that may not even have quality materials.so the question - how do investors, house flippers and you guys typically do the showings?

If my wife and I had started on this path very young and with no background in this and, say, raking in upwards of $120,000 in household income yearly in our jobs, there's no way we would have gone into low-income landlording.

As part of the governmental push not to create high concentrations of underprivileged households in one location, which some argue creates a cycle of poverty, the Project Based Assistance contracts are no longer rewarded (the existing Projects that have HAP contracts can continue to operate and renew and there is a caveat that while no new contracts are rewarded you can transfer a contract from a facility where the owner does not wish to renew).
