However, I have heard horror stories about the homeless that can park out there and the police not coming to assist, gunshots, disrespect for your property, human waste lying around, and drug houses, and more.

@Michael RayYou are getting a lot of advice to sell from people who likely don't have investments in the Bay Area or other high cost investment areas.First off - if you sell the property - you will likely lose 6%-8% right off the bat through seller commissions and other seller related costs.You would have to buy another property at 6-8% below market just to make up for it right away.Second, you have to determine what the property is appreciating at on an annual basis, while you are not cash-flowing, the value of your asset may be appreciating at a higher level than other asset classes.As much as people are saying they are leaving the bay area, there is little area's around the world with great weather and atmosphere(minus the homelessness issue) as the Bay Area.Cash flow is good as it brings in income but asset appreciation is where true wealth is created.

My family member purchased their home less than a year ago, and the home was appraised at the time of the purchase.

I called a scrap yard, they picked it up with a flat bed and I got $200.A homeless guy was squatting in a place.

Porta Potties attract homeless people on a construction site. 4.

The homeless guy sleeping on a park bend is financially independent.

This means higher rents, higher qualification standards and increases homelessness.

But I think it should include anyone that provides housing to the qualifying tenants under this rule.https://www.accountingtoday.com/news/wyden-proposes-bill-to-offer-tax-credits-to-combat-homelessness?

People end up homeless for a reason.

They are loosing the middle and upper middle class and gaining the wealthy and the homeless/illegal population.
