@James Hunt, work with a realtor who understand San Diego's local rent control.

I understand that section 8 of course is dealing sometimes with properties that are rougher neighborhoods not the Taj Mahal but they certainly deserve respect.

Here are some steps to help you get started:Learn for Yourself.Make sure you understand your investing objectives.

From what I understand there is not enough interest to warrant the investment the builders would need to make in approvals.Included in the pricing is builders insurance as well as inspections and permitting for the home itself.

I do understand that some are very angry and feel the current climate gives them permission to spew it openly, but I never felt this was the place for it.

@Jason O.I've rented to over 700 students (under and grad) and I understand the market well.To do it successfully: time it with the academic calendarSept to May: flat price including utilities and furniture for max revenue, can include a cleaning service to keep an eye on the rental.May to Aug: depends on your city density and the amount of summer classes, increase the price to accommodate the demand or decrease it accordingly.

Understand you have no obligation to negotiate anything.

Baseline customer service was of no help.I want to understand what products do you use?

Your goal is to understand the situation fully so that you can make a wise decision about whether to continue doing business with them.I often see folks fire people for a single mistake which is a tough way to operate.

Understanding your rights and obligations as a landlord will help you navigate the situation more effectively.3.
