I started operating the property in mid-2023.

Plus there's sports there to continue to boost the area.

Not an expert here but my Brother is a heavy equipment operator in Northern CA and did a lot of the fire clean up when those fires happened and he mentioned contractor might need hazard waste removal license..

The government continues to believe—consistent with the conclusions of the U.S.

Assuming the Oakland rental market continues to remain stagnant/competitive with newer buildings going up, is property appreciation the only way to increasing wealth with my building?

That's the way it should be.Not sure if they operate in your area, but happy to make an introduction.Best,J

You can do this without bankruptcy and if you continue those new habits you can move on to buying an investment.

hmmmm, raising capital for operations vs each property?

This can also bolster your case if the tenants continue to act in bad faith.

Point is, there is a new bar being set and if your not operating up to it, we are going to make your listing look like crap and perform like crap because were putting this out to the potential tenants and who'd you pursue and choose?
