But neither of these is ever relevant to me in my purchase decision. 

There once was a basement suite too that ideally could be restored as well (650 sq feet).Ryan's question is probably relevant to many of us.Thanks!

While, in theory, they can be subject to the 1st year recapture, it only matters if:a. there really was asset segregationb. the residual value of these assets exceeds their adjusted (post-depreciation) basisThis last condition is not that common, really, so the issue is not highly relevant for practical purposes.

Instead of being embarrassed and apologizing, she had the audacity to mention the other neighbor who is encroaching on their property with a dog fence (the neighbor who referred the surveyor), and said they are ok with that because that neighbor is "nice" (as if I am not a nice person and as if that has any relevance towards an argument for them taking over my property), and then asks me to remove the cones and red flags as they are not attractive.

don't know who those guys are do they have last names.some of the travelling and on line guru stuff is rehashed old info that is not relevant to being not legal.I have seen some do very well once they have gone through the hands on training that some of the coachs do.. its not cheap and its a year long process.. but it is every thing you need to know to succeed .. its frankly more the individual than it is the teacher.. not everyone is cut out to be in this business... it appears much easier than it really is.

Thanks Everyone.More assumptions updated, however they should not impact rent-increase or price-increase.Context: As per recent Realtor-com 2021 forecast,Sacramento: 7.4% price-growth, whereas,SanJose-Santa Clara-Sunnyvale: 10.8% price-growth.Reference: https://www.realtor.com/research/2021-national-housing-forecast/It is not clear whether Bay Area 1-unit condos will also attain ~10.8% growth, OR condo-prices would go down.I am in pre-planning phase to narrow down the market, not approached realtor partners yet, as realtors mostly have expertise on local market.I have prior contacts in relevant markets.Intent of thread was to have a discussion with folks in like-minded forum.
