Irvine , CA Thursday, January 07, 2016 According to a new study of companies leaving California during the last eight years, the state's business climate will worsen because of a multitude of proposed tax hikes and new regulations – measures sufficient to motivate more company departures.The study by Spectrum Location Solutions is critical of extending the "temporary" taxes in Proposition 30, escalating fuel and motor vehicle taxes, imposing a service tax on routine transactions, raising carbon-related cap-and-trade fees, and threatening to weaken Proposition 13's protections for business property owners."

Make that option look like a losing proposition. 

I was propositioned by a local company that middles shared living arrangements for young professionals relocating to the area.

What would be your value proposition?

To boil down some of the great advice here....refine your value proposition (I personally feel there's a lot of upside to STR vs LTR) and just keep going! 

Of course, people are personally responsible for their own long term planning at the end of the day, but let's be real that Wall Street isn't helping matters at all with their hidden fees and dangerous risk/reward proposition.

I am in the process of enhancing my underwriting skills/knowledge and I am looking for a good Commercial Real Estate underwriting model and training and would like to hear which one is your preferred one with the best cost/benefit proposition.

I say that because REI is not a cookie cutter proposition.

and at the end of the day the stuff we generally fund or buy becomes a much better proposition for us once we let the banks filter it through the system and we can just buy get title insurance and go

Stan Chigintsev This is going to seem either constructive or mean, maybe both, but you have a horribly unappealing value proposition for a successful investor.
