@Agyei Axum i have been renting by the room for the last 7 years. that is actually all that i do. i would strongly suggest doing that in your case to boost cash flow in your expensive market. i would find comparables in order to price effectively.

look up property tax record and get name and address of owners, Go to their homes and start a conversation.eMails and texting are not the preferred choice of communication for most people 35  or older. 

On the other hand, Bellflower does not have rent control.If you are referring to a single family residence where there is only one unit on the lot, then it is not subject to rent control laws.In any situation, I would encourage good communication so that you and your tenant can have a mutually beneficial, long term relationship. 

After a few months with a property management company, they have made a few mistakes: - Forgot to resolve a broken item in the condo for the tenant, with no communication about the fix/progress for over 2 months- Miscommunicated rules of the lease to the tenantWe’ve also received feedback from our tenant that they aren’t very happy with the tenant-side service. 

Success looks different for all of us but we all have an ideal level we’d like to reach before we can claim “I made it.”I want to talk about another side effect if success which is philanthropy.

Then I use Cozy for coordination of communication of fees, leases, expenses.

Now where would I find out how this will effect the property taxes?

A more effective method is to read and attend various networking events. 

I believe I need to get pre-qualified once more now that my financial situation has changed, so I'd like to ask all of you - How do you find and effectively vet mortgage brokers in your area?

If it was possible to do a targeted mail campaign directed to a potential Seller you know something about, even general demographics, that might have a special effect.
