Although AB-968 doesn’t specifically mention “licensed” contractors, the state of California already stipulates that “anyone who contracts to perform work that is valued at $500 or more in combined labor and materials costs must hold a current, valid license from CSLB” (source: CSLB).With AB-968, if work is performed by an (un)licensed contractor in an amount that exceeds $500, disclosing that entity’s or individual’s name and contact information becomes a legal requirement.

That’s why Reno has been a close market to Northern California investors to invest in.

Yes, I know California is very tenant friendly. 

Side note: I've been seeing recently in the CA market, its become saturated with "flippers" who want to land their first deal and don't mind overspending on a potential flip just to get experience.

Of course they are many ways to find deals, but there are favorites that always work.If you are new or need help or are in tough markets like CA, WA or especially Socal or even in AZ or NV this is the way to go.One approach I like is to send post cards.

I inherited a tenant in a duplex who I am unable to evict because of CA laws.

My first investment was in California in 2015.

I live in New York City and I am selling an investment property in California, a single family house, and I am planning on using 1031 to buy investment property in New York City.

I invest in mainly small multifamily out there and I live in California.

Thank you for all responses, but please be aware that as much as I'd like her gone, this is california and I can't just end the lease.
