Thanks you for any adviceHere is my situation:Currently renting 3/2 SFH in Santee,CA From my parents for under market rent but have a timeline to be out or in another property in the next 1.5 years. 

That would give me pause before buying rentals in CA or IL.I will be following this with great interest.

Not so much ;)So now investors are feeling the weight of dog properties…be it higher interest rates, non paying tenants, property values falling, government intervention (especially in CA), etc.

Investments from CA tech companies is driving job and population growth. 

Most contractors here in California will charge their hourly rate and possibly ad on a smaller charge if they need an assistant.  

In CA, there are a lot of tenants that have leases that state a higher rent to go month to month when the lease expires. 

I’m in CA also and paid cap gains on huge profits to the tune of 28%, which included CA state cap gains.

There are many reasons that adding a single ADU in southern CA is a less than ideal RE investment (i will post a list at the end) but the negative initial equity is a primary reason as the initial negative equity position consumes the initial cash flow and can take many years to recover.As for converting your home to a rental….

Granite, I know CA tends to see a lot of this; more than likely due to a lot of people owning Solar.My question is the owner that has a lien status associated to this Lien description (Notice of an Independent Solar Energy Producer Contract), is this a standard practice of just owning Solar (thus wasting time prospecting these individuals) or does this simply mean they (the solar company) took out a lien against the owner because the solar company is trying to collect their money.
