Great thread/posts.This article is a few months old, but the rent $ in SF are still unreal, taking nothing away from Oakland.http://priceonomics.com/the-san-francisco-rent-explosion-part-ii/

When giving deposit slips to tenants, is there any danger in them having both our routing number and checking account number?  

I can understand not wanting to collect rent in person as that's horribly inefficient & actually pretty dangerous.

The asbestos must be airborne and have frequent exposure to be dangerous.  

@Bob Bowling CA property has blown the doors off any flyover property over the last 40+ years.Using past trends to predict future trends is extremely dangerous.

To go through the rigamarole of assigning TIC %s seems to be both unnecessary and dangerous because you are now flirting with a change or perception of change of ownership structure.Going into contract as your names does not hurt anything.  

Some of you know enough to be dangerous.

They will be checking to see if your tenant is restricted from having dangerous pets, trampolines, pools, etc - anything the insurance company thinks is risky.

In fact, I thought I made it pretty blatantly obvious it's a very dangerous/risky note in of itself based on yhe scenario I laid out.

Dangerous move.I have fallen into the trap where past success makes me want to hire people to try to keep doing good things and become even more successful.
