In one case an acquaintance purchased a property I was just a tad leary about and  BAMMMM a person whom had interest from three transaction prior surfaced and made claim to the property and they are still in litigation 3 years later and tens of thousands of dollars later...

Being a newbie, I couldn't get a civil engineers attention b/c they are all too busy with so many people moving here.

I can search for the applicants by name and find criminal cases, civil cases, evictions, even traffic tickets.

Civil Code Section 827(b)(1)(A).The landlord has not been writing any of the rent increases in writing.

Investors wondering why their properties sit vacant in a hot market.Put the properties in MLS with fair compensation to a tenant's agent, so you know you get maximum exposure, get the maximum number of applications, get the best applications, get tenants perhaps willing to pay above asking price.Remember PM business is a lot of work for low return and highest litigation rate for licensees. 

I read a speech given at a gathering of attorneys, and the new quote is "mold is gold." it reminds me of tort litigation in California on attached products for defects, where attorneys would go out and sue a builder and every subcontractor and the lender.

Doesn't sound like the current owner has legal justification to terminate the lease early as they are not the ones moving in.I just spent a little time on the CA DCA (Dept of Consumer Affairs) site looking at their Landlord "Book" as they call it.http://www.dca.ca.gov/publications/landlordbook/index.shtmlAnd looking at the CA Civil Code 1940-1954http://www.aroundthecapitol.com/code/getcode.html?

That only works with hats.A quality agent first understands a client's needs and then proposes the best insurance coverage.I know plenty of fee only planners who strongly recommend permanent life insurance plans ... especially for those people who work in professions that can easily lose civil lawsuits.

It is too bad we live in society with so much litigation and lawsuits.

If you put multiple properties in one LLC and go under litigation for one of those properties, it can jeopardize the other properties in that LLC.
