If I donated to aids health foundation and they spent the money on rent control instead of aids research or health care, I would be pissed.  

There are a couple of things I like about them but one of my favorite things is that it allow me to control if I will allow partial payments or not.

- Value add - How much does it cost to convert Non-climate controlled units to climate controlled units?

Its all about the heavy brush with Manzanita and other dense brush full of oils that burn so hot and fast.. thats why in many areas in CA they have control burns..

And given #3 above, it leaves about 20% of rent for all other expenses like property tax, insurance and other PM expenses like leasing fee, eviction fee and other minor expenses like for e.g landscaping, pest control etc.

Just like going to an auction where lots of people are bidding and there is a frenzied atmosphere... and you want to be a part of the action...you bid too, is not a good (controlled) way to spend your money.  

Also don’t forget landscaping and general pest control (termites) if applicable.

You stay In control, but affordability is easier to maintain.

Was last year abnormal or you think the normMy guess is you will spend a lot more than $200k on an attorney with benefits etc. but if it cuts down in expenses it definitely is something I would consider and even if it costs a little more, having control with having someone in house does reduce unknown costs and risks. 

This implies residential units can be built at lower costs and provide better return. 11) adding an ADU to SFH can make the SFH fall under rent control.
