Here is what I found: According to state laws (Civil Code § 1941.1 and § 1941.3), at minimum every rental must have:-effective waterproofing and weather protection of roof and exterior walls, including unbroken windows and doors-functioning plumbing, heating, and electrical facilities, including hot and cold running water and a working toilet and kitchen sink-clean and sanitary building and grounds (that is, free of debris, filth, rubbish, garbage, rodents, and vermin), with adequate trash receptacles-well-maintained floors, stairways, and railings-deadbolt locks on certain doors and windows-no lead paint hazards, and-no nuisances, a catchall provision referring to something that is dangerous to human life, detrimental to health, or morally offensive and obnoxious, such as allowing drug dealing on the premises.If I were you I would take LOTS of pictures and document everything.

It will be from this effective Gross Revenue that you will deduct the operating expenses (property taxes, utilities, maintenance {but not capital improvement}, landscaping & snow removal, garbage collection, pest control, etc.) to arrive at your Net Operating Income (NOI).From your NOI, you would pay your debt service and any reserve contributions for future Capital Expenditures (the big-ticket items which are capitalized with the property: new roof, HVAC replacement, etc.).

Unless you want to live like a cockroach and “house hack” garbage in 110F weather… invest in something else or somewhere else.

well the fees are the taxes and the hoa. which is about normal .. 350 taxes and 250 fees which covers water sewer and garbage .. 

This notion of house hack every 1-2 years with 3-5% down is hot garbage that people regurgitate on here.

In my area, the most common are garbage and sewer bills, but they could include just about anything like water, electricity, etc.

I've used Facebook Marketplace, but I don't like it - most of the requests are garbage, and it's much more difficult to get across to applicants the basic requirements (like 2 month security deposit).
