I had a tenant who "generously" told me (leaving owing me a months rent) that he left me one of those stupid barbecue grills along with a really heavy headboard (no foot board), a large and broken set of bedroom drawers and a TV table also broken down.I was supposed to be grateful that I had to haul this crap to the curb all because it wouldn't fit into his U-Haul.About the only entertainment with all of this is that the rental is in a neighborhood where folks come by and pick up this stuff like vultures picking over dead bodies.

It's a disservice many places enact, when they have telemarketers, and warm bodies in a seat to take your application and don't consider true guidelines and options for investors. keep looking

They want a 30 day extension, which I'm reluctant to do, but will do as the house will be a profitable rehab.Any body had this happen ?

Permitting requirements vary by governing body.  

This is ok with my partner as he looks at it as if we're already paying the bank 5.125% why not pay it to you instead.Questions:1) Are there regulatory requirements I must meet to provide this kind of private loan to a closely held LLC in California?
