@Raymond Lewis It's not as hard as it is in Massachusetts, by all accounts.In my experience it usually takes a couple of months, though it really depends on how quickly you act on the unpaid rent, e.g. sending out the 5-day demand letter on the 17th of the same month the rent is unpaid.It can be delayed if they are "professional tenants" who really know the tricks of gaming the system (which can buy them an extra month or more depending on whether you use a good attorney or do something else like DIY and make any mistakes).And sometimes you just get a bad judge and s/he gives the tenants extra time just because.Also I'm assuming this is for unpaid rent.

Everything was very DIY in terms of the upkeep and renovation.  

Do you find it hard to keep track of receipts, understand accounting platforms to DIY your books, stay consistent with your bookkeeping, find time to do your bookkeeping, or maybe you even have a bookkeeper but you don't understand your reports...

It takes months if I DIY and I have to take time off my day job.

For those of us who haven’t utilized a company like yours ( DIY types) can you give us an idea of your companies take of the profits?  

You'd have to check with customer service on compatibility with your particular units but payrange has great bluetooth-enabled apps for laundry payment systems. easy to DIY install with youtube videos. no monthly fees and low upfront hardware acquisition cost.

If I am managing my own rentals, technically titled in a trust in the future once all this gets figured out, do I need to be licensed or a realtor, or can I still go the diy route since they are basically mine?

Judges in CA courts in my areas are very punitive when it comes to DIY property recovery.  

I also want to mention that this is a good DIY job. 

For small jobs, i’d say less than 50k, it is more informal, a one page contract should do it, single family or homeowner that wants a standard commercial grade contractor at a DIY price?
