@Deanne Bourne  Why do you think it's passage was so heavily supported and financed by Realtors? 

I do not know the odds of passage, but I will be voting against it even though there is one aspect I like. 

It passed.Since the passage of prop 13 there have been a few attempts to invalidate parts of it. 

There are a couple notes from the article that make me think this, but the biggie is this passage halfway down:"The sponsor of the bill said he plans to offer amendments to narrow the bill with less of a focus on people renting second homes and more attention paid to hotels that convert to privately owned units that are taxed as residential but still operate like a hotel.These giant corporate properties that are being misclassified as residential but are being rented out as a hotel.

Lesson: make sure all units are legal and everything is up to current safety codeThis arbitrator's ruling seems crazy considering CA law (SB13) allows 5 years to legalize any safe bootleg units from the initial passage of the law. 

I do recommend very strongly before you go buying the same list everyone else is buying and worry too much about dialers and the such that you take the very first right of passage that I believe every investor should take.DRIVING FOR DOLLARS.This is also probably one of the lowest cost of entry while also being one of the surest paths to success.Simply start going through the B and C areas of your town and start looking for signs of distress and abandonment.Look for the tall grass, homes that you can see right through at the windows, homes with no curtains and no furniture inside, damaged mailboxes, mailboxes with no doors, missing mailboxes, cars with expired tags which have obviously not been moved in quite awhile, etc…Once you have found 20-50 addresses, look them up on the county’s property appraiser.Here is a link to a site that will pull up the property appraiser, clerk of courts and tax collector for every county in the country. 

I install the Schlage BE365 model, which is a deadbolt, and use a "passage knob" for the handle.

Someone might tell you the administrative redemption rights have expired, but that still leaves judicial redemption rights and lienholder redemption rights that are not tied to the mere passage of time, but require some additional actions PLUS the passage of time.

So knowing that He rose Sunday morning, when I read the following passage, it told me what day of the week Sabbath is.
