There are a lot of EXTRA costs in CA in general, and the federal government as well.  

Since house flipping has become so popular over the past few years, it's never been more critical to give your projects that extra *POP* that homebuyers will notice as they're swiping through Zillow. 

If you don't intend to do that right away then do the 20% and save the extra cash flow.

They had been paying those extra taxes for ~10 years since the last tax reassessment.

Our 275 sq ft furnished garage should rent for $1600 - $1800/mo and the only extra fees compared to long term is $99/yr to post on furnishedfinders.com. ...I should have this finished by the end of next month, so can keep you updated on whether this plan works and what we rent for. 

If you want to grow aggressively then having the extra cash available to you today is more important.

Not to say you cannot do well, but it’ll take some extra TLC. 

It may sound nice to pay a 5% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no add-on fees.

For me at least, doubling my profit is well worth the extra two months of expenses on the market.

I have studied things and I feel I would only make maybe an extra grand a year and frankly I don't want to squeeze every last time out of people coming for vacation.Most of our guests are regular people.
