But, that is not always the right answer and you should speak with someone familiar with your personal situation to get advice specific to you.Don't forget about getting your estate plan in place and ironed out as well. 

I have a rental SFR which will be placed on market on Feb. 1st. 2025 in Elk Grove, CA.

And, at that time and place, it would arguably be silly NOT to do so. 100%.This post was biased towards San Francisco, and California more general to include Los Angeles and San Diego, today in 2024.

We were surprised that Kiavi never thought to call the vendor of their software, or a database technician, to fix this.We provided the requested copy of our LLC articles of organization.

The growth in Chatt (in part driven by it appearing in every single "best place to retire" vlog from 2010 onward), is in a different league.

BiggerPockets is a great place to find featured agents experienced with long-term rental investments—they can guide you to cash-flowing properties and connect you with resources like contractors and property managers.

Commercial properties are listed on places like LoopNet or much better CoStar.

For example he is trying to place a bookcase door to access a small amount of storage from the bathroom.  

@Lillian Pintaro,Birmingham’s a lucrative market—it’s been my stomping ground for nearly 20 years, and you can find some excellent deals if you know what you’re after and dive deep by zip code, neighborhood, and city block.For what it’s worth, we manage 2,000+ units (many for out-of-state investors) mostly in the north and west part of town—so think suburbs outside the city limits like Graysville (35073), Adamsville (35005), Mount Olive (35117), Center Point (35215), and the like.Since you’re also open to the surrounding areas, places like Odenville (to the east) and Tuscaloosa (to the southwest) could be worth checking out.

If there are lease violations, mention them-you not having a key to access the unit WITH proper notice or in case of emergency is one of them.I'd also tell the tenant that they are clearly not happy there, so finding a new place is in their best interest as well and as they have several months, they should have lots of options.
