The way I’m interpreting how this work, and please correct me if I’m mistaken, is that at the top of the pyramid is the DST, with branches coming down connecting it to each LLC that is controlled by the DST.

Maybe I misunderstand, but I have always interpreted it as upon notice from the tenant, the landlord has to make a good faith and reasonable attempt to re-lease the property.

I guess where it goes open to interpretation is where it states "in some circumstances, the act exempts"...I guess I'd have to read into the law a little further to dig into the "in some circumstances" part.

Of course, its up to the OP to decide what is right for her.Part of the problem is an Umbrella is probably the most misunderstood policy in the forums.  9 times out of 10 non-insurance people will post an interpretation that is incorrect.Investors use/need an Umbrella to simply have Liability limits higher than what their General Liability policy can provide (max is usually $1M) over their rentals.If you had a contracting business, that Umbrella can extend higher limits over your commercial Auto, Work Comp, business locations, your product liability, etc.A Personal Umbrella can go over your Home, Auto, rentals, Boat, recreational, etc. 

I did not instruct him on placement since I was not confident in my interpretation of the code.  

If you have a Realtor / attorney they can help interpret paperwork.

It is my interpretation that the law requires you to hold the security deposit (of >$100) in a separate escrow account.  

I bought it way under market hence my $70k HELOC when only owning it for a year and a half now.Pros of replacing windows (pretty obvious) - no complaints from tenants on window operation (although this hasn't really been an issue so far w/ my current tenants), bonus in ARV when/if decide to sell, and energy efficiency.Cons - roughly $10k expense, if I use my HELOC then $10k of the balance goes towards a non cash flowing investment (I don't interpret new windows as generating cash flow), if I finance then I add to my DTI which could hurt me when attaining future loans on future rentals.I tried to keep this as concise as possible while laying out the full scenario.

Start thinking intelligently, collect data, interpret that data correctly, use that data to come up with a hypothesis, test the hypothesis and create your motivated seller lead generation system.I did EXACTLY that, and I get more leads for free in a DAY than most of you get in a month, and my leads are free, and of the HIGHEST quality.Coincidence?

Or does California interpret just living in CA and collecting quarterly distributions as "doing business"?
