This would apply to your unit.Your biggest concern with setting the rent should be the near future. 1) Your insurance is guaranteed to go up, probably dramatically.  2) You may get an insurance assessment bill to cover the CA Fair Plan losses.

Since you want to aggressively invest in the near future, you will need cash and the 30 year option is the right one for you.

Future enhancements include the planned Silver Line rail alignment with nearby stops, as well as potential commuter bus services, pedestrian paths, and bike lanes.The development benefits from proactive rezoning by the city, transitioning the land from industrial to mixed-use urban development.

This would not cost anything BUT tenants may be able to argue over bill more and I know RUBS has sometimes been outlawed in certain jurisdictions so would be less future proof.

They may miss out on future gains if the neighborhood continues to increase in value.
