I agree with the other comment, you unfortunately do not get that money back even if the seller was not upfront on an issue. 

I know this is also a National issue, especially in land constricted markets.

I heard that one of the new laws that went into effect 1/1/25 in CA requires landlords give tenants photos of any areas/issues that were a cause for security deposit deductions.Thanks in advance for any input !

The issue of "dreamers" is resolved.

My guess is there are some STR owners or managers genuinely unaware their current pricing exceeds the price gouging thresholds until it is brought to their attention.]Will PriceLabs and other dynamic pricing tools- respond quickly and appropriately to these issues?

They have addressed the issue of depreciation of components, but not the actual methodology of the study.

i fyour getting paid off when the vertical loan goes on.. then your in first position . so not sure what the issue is? 

Personally, I find BTRs to be more predictable with fewer ongoing maintenance issues, and they tend to attract high-quality tenants.

Building on existing land helps eliminate the issue of land scarcity, which is a significant challenge due to California’s high real estate prices.

After renovating, I updated the interiors, addressed exterior issues, and enhanced the overall appeal.
