Hi Olufunke,It seems like you are based in Texas? 

@Rob K. response seems very good, but I want to add that one of the two proposed prop 13 amendment initiatives (prop 19) eliminates the Prop 13 tax bases transferring to children and grandchildren if the unit is not the primary residence (I.e. rentals and vacation/second homes).  

I have read materials and watched videos, but it seems like I need to take the next step and see if anyone can help guide me through all the processes.

That seems a bit high to me.

I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me.

And reading some threads here at BP's seems to confirm that. 

Most of these repairs seem easy but aren’t and when you dealing something that is omitting carbon monoxide it’s better to leave to the professionals3.).
