You can try a lower flat fee company or do a FSBO. 

In my experience, the vast majority of people with emotional support animals are under 30 and lower income.This is just one example of how weak our culture has become.

Usually rentbacks call for higher rents than market, not lower. of course, those situations I've seen have always been short term. you make it sound like this can be several months. in that situation, I would tell them they have to pay market rent, and provide security deposit.

I purchased a duplex and want to submit my appraisal to the county in order to hopefully lower my taxes.

I can give you very high level calculation to understand both scenario...Lets say you buy 100K house with 1000 rent... lets compare all cash against leverage...All cash InvestmentYearly return = 12000 (Rent) + 2000 (Appreciation) - 3000 (Tax + Insurance + Capex) = 11000 = 11%LeverageYearly Return = 1000 (Rent Cash flow) + 2000 (Appreciation) + 3000 (Amortization) = 6000 = 6%Now when you leverage investment at 20%, you can buy 5 house from 100KYearly Return of 5 Houses = 6000 X 5 = 30000 = 30%There are more tax benefit in this deal also as your positive cashflow is lower...If you are planning to buy multiple houses, Leverage is always better...

Modern, direct vented, natural gas and propane furnaces are typically in the range of 92 - 95% efficient.Your decision on whether to replace the furnace will depend on the efficiency of the current unit and whether it make more business sense to replace the furnace or to add a heat-pump with an exchanger insert to the existing system ... and, it is (or should be) primarily a mathematical decision yielding which ever approach is going to offer the shorter payback and lower operating costs.The math aside, there will be other non-math factors.  

But we know how this can end if prices start to trend lower.

And for the wholesalers out there, we unfortunately turn clients away from many deals because they're too tight (even with our lower end pricing).

@Scott L. and @Carl Fischer, unfortunately simply 1031ing and buying in a state with a lower tax will not help @Ouman You as long as he lives in CA. 

I also have a tenant in one of my lower end rentals that consistently pays almost one month late.
