I followed BP for a while and decided it was time for me to jump in this forum.

Not advocating you break the law just letting you know what's going on in the marketplace. 

While the intent behind AB 968 is clear—adding transparency around recent repairs and renovations—this bill may not accomplish its aim in the ways its proponents hope.

If you bought it in the last 2 years, you may just be seeing the result of the property tax assessor factoring in the new value of the sale.

It’s inspiring to hear how creative finance has changed the way you approach deals.

@Jacque Mihovk what can you buy with the funds available, assuming 20-25% down payment and financing the rest?

After closing, you can transfer the deed to the LLC, but the key is timing.
