Permit just expired but I am to submit a certificate of occupancy application, I have the ez sign form as well but kind of stuck on the whole process.

@Angela Li you are contradicting yourself.To be able to garnish & collect a tenant, you will need the info you state you do not want to be responsible for.Can't have it both ways.Maybe hire a PMC?

Does anybody know about the process to convert a grandfathered duplex to an SFH + ADU?

I know that most people who OWN a property and put it on airbnb claim the income on Schedule E ("passive income"), which avoids having to pay the 15.3% self-employment tax.I'm wondering if those who are practicing rental arbitrage by renting the place that they list on airbnb also claim the income on Schedule E, or if you claim it on Schedule C bc you don't own the place that you're listing on airbnb.Whether you own or rent the property that you list on Airbnb, the activities are the same: acquiring the property, furnishing it, activating utilities, listing it on Airbnb, hiring cleaning services, etc, etc.

I was wondering if anybody has gone through this process and is willing to share any tips or resources they have use to make the process easier?

@Lesley Stoll I would be more than happy to answer any questions you might have surrounding the 1031 exchange process.

The end of my term is in the beginning of March, but the process has begun for eviction against the current tenants.

I'd start the process of non-renewal, notice to vacate and eviction if needed. 

Dillman (Author)Also, I've tried searching for a SIOR reading list, and found these three titles:Confessions of a Commercial Real Estate BrokerThe CFO's Guide to Understanding Corporate Real Estate TransactionsGo For Broker: An Executive's Guide to Hiring a Broker for Today's Complex Real Estate DealsAre there any other books you would highly recommend? 

@Anita AinsworthIf you decide to go with a public adjuster, that will almost asuradly add time to the process.
