The good news is that in cities like Berkeley with aggressive rent control, there is always a shortage of available rental units (the rent board bureacrats constantly find ways to perpetuate the housing shortage upon which their jobs depend).

Also it would mean I get a different tenant pool for example travel medical professionals, displaced people due to insurance claims, digital nomads, etc and I really want to expand my knowledge outside of long term tenants and challenge myself to have a diverse portfolio of real estate! 

Is there something in the news that I missed?

The bad news is that now I am providing a service that cna be easily offered by a local realtor.

Personally I’d go to Lowe’s and buy a set of machines that only has dials for controls, no electric, digital panel.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but off-market strategies typically aren’t the best approach for acquiring multi-unit properties.

You can even create a balance sheet if you want to get crazy.I definitely recommend scanning all of your documents associated with the rental using a free app like Genius Scan and get those into some sort of digital document management platform such as Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.

What’s the most relevant real estate news you have read or heard in the last thirty days?

NAR says it has the 4th highest rate:  https://www.nar.realtor/magazine/real-estate-news/states-whe...Sure, not nearly as high as FLA but still more expensive then the average state and is the only state on the top ten on both the property tax and insurance list.
