Currently in the process of getting other sites ranked.

The only issue we have run into is the prices and bidding wars.Every single home we have looked at for personal use or an investment seems to have 5+ offers and go MUCH over asking.We are currently looking at Bay Park / Clairemont / Carlsbad / Oceanside. 

The landlord or his agent shall notify the tenant within 30 days after the beginning of the lease term of the name and address of the bank or institution where his deposit is currently located or the name of the insurance company providing the bond

I'm currently using about $120k of the $805k entitlement for 2025, so my plan is to purchase an MFH soon and move into one of the units while my parents become the tenants to my current home.

Perhaps you could post again now to clear this up for all of the potential and current investors?

I currently have three rental properties all located near the local college and the refinery in the area. 

I initially resided on the property as a tenant myself.Prior to the current tenant moving in, all tenants were aware that I was getting married and would eventually move out of the property on Nov 18th, 2024, with the expectation of moving out of state by the end of December.It was understood that I would continue to utilize the garage and one room for storage as I transitioned to living out of state.All tenants were also aware that I would continue to access the property during this transition period.The tenant in question moved in Nov 1st, 2024.

What's the current ARV? 

Quote from @Daljit Singh: Hi BP, I am currently house hacking a duplex in Union City, NJ, and unfortunately, the tenant stopped paying rent a few months ago. 

Is there any way to divide a lot under SB9 without having to live on the property for 3 years as required by the current rules (at least in Riverside, CA)?
