I started out a some years back and eventually became a broker to be able to help others.

I know this is a somewhat controversial product but a reverse mortgage is an option for folks who want to remain in their home and age in place but need a source of cash flow.Hope this points you in the right direction.

Basically, Id like to know how much teeth does our lease have in light of larger oakland CA tenant law.Any help would be much appreciatedthanks

It is the only calculator of its kind to help you determine: if househacking is a better investment than a traditional home purchase, how long to hold onto the investment before selling, how long to live in the property, and which unit to occupy.If this will be a traditional rental property investment (not a househack), select ‘renter’ for all units under the Summary Tab’s ‘Property Information’ section.Metrics used for the deal analysis:The purchase price is based on the median sale price - $1,450,000 Unit bed/bath counts are based on the median 5 bed/3 bath counts for sold Astoria 2-family properties this year.Projected rents are $3,200 and $3,900 respectively as shown in our median rents for 2 bedroom and 3 bedroom apartments.Not included in the analysis is ADU income.

This helps improve your return on equity (ROE) by moving your investment into a property that potentially offers better cash flow and appreciation.

Any helpful thoughts or suggestions?

That being said I’m Submetering a 5 unit currently and the biggest expense was the actual meters which my electrician directed us to the exact product he wanted and told us to buy it off EBay.

The VA loan is the greatest loan product available and can be an incredible way to start your RE journey (that is what I did personally). 

Any advice would be helpful :)

I appreciate anyone and all's help in advance.
