I’m a card carrying republican/libertarian so obviously the political landscape of California isn’t my cup of tea.

Weak link in the plumbing... it's probably not the actual toilet. 1. put 1/4 cup baking soda in toilet bowls and sinks 2. then a cup of vinegar, it will bubble, let it sit an hourflush, rinse sinks with two cups more or less of boiling waterThis should cut out the bacteria high up in the drains for a couple weeks.I would give the tenant a big box of baking soda and walmart gallon bottle of vinegar and notsend a plumber.

If you have time - maybe we could get together over a cup of coffee the next time that I am in the LA area and talk  about what it's going to take to get you kicked off with real estate investing.  

There are plenty of people out there who'd love to help you for the cost of a cup of coffee or a sandwich. 

Sometimes it helps to see the bones of a good house hack property to really give you an idea of what you're looking for, so if you'd like to grab a cup of coffee to go and do a walkthrough of either of those properties with me I'd be happy to show you around.

Third read later and after my fourth cup of coffee, I began to make sense of it on a neophyte depreciation level.

Could be broken/never fixed. the CUP shows a use for HVAC on the building's roof, but google images arial view show no HVAC unit on the roof.Met with the owner last week.

Plus some plastic cups for kids.

I have added Jonesboro to my target area for market analysis and I would love to meet over a cup of coffee to discuss the market.

I can honestly say that I hope investors and agents read other’s responses and stay away.  40k properties that rent for 850 after 15k rehab are not everyone’s cup of tea but you won’t find those numbers outside of 29203 and 29204.
