This safety measure aims to prevent structural failures and ensure tenant safety.Originally, the first inspections were due by January 1, 2025, but a recent update—AB 2579—has extended the deadline to January 1, 2026.

Even someone of his phenomenal fortitude has limits against a dread disease.

I immediately did the wrong thing and started assuming this person has limited time in investing in real estate (which was a correct assumption).

My options are very limitted and the situation is very draining even I follow the bigger pocket advises and I unvested a lot of time in learning and also have years of experience with tenant.

@V.G Jason It is true that a duplex limits your rental pool. 

It’s nice you’re trying to save them money, but it limits your upside. 

The maximum leverage I have ever seen in trading accounts is 50%, and that's very limited and select.

By observation from a few I've seen in the area:1) Find old guy, hopefully with limited faculties not aware of the market value of his property2) Tell him you love his place and will enjoy owning it and that you're his good buddy who cares about him.3) Offer him at least 10% under FMV and tell him no one else is going to pay that much.   

If anything, when you accept rentals in the higher-end neighborhoods, the rent rate exceeds the voucher limit, meaning the resident has to have their own income in order to qualify.

Some hotels actually have a condo like structure, where people can own the units, but perhaps are limited on their personal use to only a certain amount of the year - the rest of the year it is in the rental pool managed by the hotel.If numerous room owners stopped paying their bills, you could get tax liens on numerous separately owned units.Hotels are a tough business, an issue I also see come up with them often is that they require refreshes, expensive and relatively often - at least once every 10 years, if not more often.
