Otherwise, I don't think it's necessary.The building I rented had ancient old tiny gas stoves/ovens, and cheap white refrigerators. 

But if your pool of buyers is mostly those with tiny down payments and only qualify for FHA financing be careful. 

If you know the law, nobody can bluff you and you can be confident in your negotiations.I think you should consider that CA is a huge state, and LA and SF are but a tiny part of the state. 

It's a tiny area (about 15' x 15') so finding a landscaper willing to do the work is difficult.Ideally I would like the tenants to all be able to share the area and somehow share the maintenance of the lawn.  

They had nice high ceilings, but tiny closets for the most part, no dishwashers, no balconies, not enough parking, etc.  

A tiny house would be the equivalent of a mobile home. 

But, it was a cute 2/1 1930's place, but with a very tiny kitchen. 

I'd buy an apartment building right next door to an accredited ABA law school with full-time 3 year program only (no part-time students), preferably full of tiny studio apartments and rent only to law students (by only advertising via the law school and offering incentives to current tenants to find me more.  

I was going through the mountain of them this week and discovered charges for 115 dollars to mow a tiny yard!

I sent them all texts apologizing for wasting their time with those tiny checks.
