I've done extensive research and familiarized myself with the basics, I believe there's no substitute for real-world experience and practical advice. 

Up until recently I had been doing my own book keeping for both which was a terrible idea haha; I have gotten extensions on my taxes for the past 5 years because i manually itemized all expenses I did not keep up with throughout the year on EXCEL.

The end that just won’t end: they asked for several extensions as they were not able to secure housing they liked enough… i allowed the extensions.

Any thoughts as to using the Lease extension vs Lease agreement form?

With SB13 allowing bootlegged safe units and the likely extension to the 5 year window due to the shortage of units, I am unsure there is much risk in the near term.  

In addition consider other documents you will need to have on hand like Pet Addendums, Notice to Vacate, Lease Extensions, Lease Assignments, etc.

Don’t look at only their managers fee, ask what the average client pays in total fees (monthly, lease up, extensions, etc) as a percentage of rent collected.

Parcels requiring extensive engineering will be built up later as land becomes limited and housing prices go up.

if an extension could be $10,000 up to $150,000Fire Hydrantif needed, $3,000Sewer dump$20,000if needed: $5,000 plumbingSewer Lineif needed; $10,000 up to ????
