Your HOA will likely keep increasing and because of the excessive heat, roofs get replaced more than in other areas and if the HOA is not super liquid, that will come back to you in the form of an assessment.

If there are excess losses, Citizens can surcharge all policyholders to help pay for the claims.If you have a long term rental, it is a viable and affordable option, but it should never be construed as the best option. 

Didn't the authorities notify of the sale? 

California charges a minimum tax of $800 a year per LLC, and more if you have gross receipts in excess of $250k.

Complicated rooflines, modern details that require a bunch of steel framing, excessively large great rooms, spa-like bathrooms, etc would push you into the $1,000-2,000 range.  

As soon as allowed by Authorities, We have several Teams going into NC, SC & TN to setup temporary shelters (TH/Fema Trailers), Food & H2O, Chainsaw Crews & Cleanup Crews, Gen Crew (electricians) & Etc..

A good rule - as long as the plumbing and electric has been updated, a well-built home from the mid-20th century is a better investment and will likely outlast a newer build.Credit to the respective author

My plan was to "self-perform" a land contract by filling out a purchase and sales agreement for a land contract that specifies I will take over the mortgage payments, get authorized on their mortgage, and be authorized essentially to fix up the property and eventually sell it on the MLS since the land contract will give me that control/equitable interest.

They generally have large portfolios allowing for in house maintenance and management staff along with a point person who is communicating with the local housing authority on a regular basis and has the ability to streamline operations.
