As I have listened to the podcasts, I have noticed Brandon has started talking more about paying properties off.

As someone based in San Diego, I’ve also noticed that investors eyeing California real estate tend to focus on potential future development or expansion (especially if you have the patience to navigate local regs).

Do not think you can get a hotel room during Semana Santa (Easter Week) with no notice!  

.: I haven't really noticed any change at all in my market except minor changes to the standard contracts (minor language changes in contract to buy and sell, listing agreement, and buyer's agency agreement). 

Just sent them a rent increase notice every year.

However, even issuing a five-day notice can be an important step before filing.

Generally I start the nagging emails and texts after about the 15th of the month and depending on the response I deliver notice by the 18th.

From google: “The Fair Housing Act (FHA) does not apply to certain types of rentals, including: Owner-occupied buildings: If the building has four or fewer units and is owned by the person who lives there Single-family homes: If the owner rents or sells the home without using a real estate agent, and they own no more than three homes Religious organizations: If the property is only available to members of the organization's religion Private clubs: If the property is only available to members of the club Senior housing: If the property is designated for people who are at least 55 years old Even if a property is exempt from the FHA, it must still comply with the law's ban on discriminatory statements, notices, or advertising.

Without rent control i either raise their rent far above market rents so they give me notice (my preferred method) or i simply do not renew their lease.

@Grace Chee The process for this is time sensitive, you should have gotten a TRIM notice around late August, early September.
