The San Jose market has begun to heat up again.

You will probably bypass the ones like sewer excavation or connection permits, electrical permits, or heating and cooling permits.

If you have a meter pit, get a plumber to inspect and see if the meter is frozen.My first plumber told me the meter was frozen but he put heat on it and couldn't get water flowing.

This door accessed the shared basement so it could open me up to potential loss as well as heated disputes if stuff gets stolen. 

He at least needs confirmation that the repairs were done correctly.

It's a very clean and well kept property and the only improvements I would make for a rental are maybe heat pump replacement & bathroom remodels.I'm not sure if that would be enough.

There is money to be made in all market phases, but those that aren’t prepared to operate as the market heats up aren’t going to enjoy a long run.3.

If you really want to get nerdy, you can check out the solar heat gain coefficient ("SHGC") for the glass along with the U-Factor.

@Dimitri Wilson most of these look like valid complaints on the surface: lost water, no heat, frozen water pipes, water damage in the bedroom, toilet leaking, etc.I just took over management of 24 units that the owner was "managing" on his own.

This includes: Fire rated ceilings or walls, smoke detectors, co detectors, fire rated doors, separate electrical and heating systems, and probably some reconfiguration of the interior.
