This is not "abandonment" and your Tenant is legally in possession with the right of quiet enjoyment.

The obvious answer is because they live there, so they're comfortable.But there is simply a different business model to be followed in a high-appreciation market vs. a cash flow market.

We‘ll ride the wave as long as the model continues to work.

The assessor may still have the assessment books for that year in his or her possession and can go ahead and change an incorrect assessment if presented with compelling evidence.

Down load your state landlord tenant laws.. so you know what the requriements are.Sounds like you have a verbal,, month to month lease,, non-payment is the cause for eviction action, Post pay or quit on garage door, take photo, send letter to last known address of the people, and if not paid in 3 days.. you file eviction.. costs same as if they were in an apartment,,, same rules..I'd check and make sure it's still got the stuff inside.. who knows,, hopefully its empty,Lesson learned you don't let anyone take possession of any area, space, garage, park on property without a written contract, lease, copy of driver's license and a emergency contact.good luck

So if the expectation is a financial model of the tax hit for various sell scenarios, I would tell the client up front what such an analysis would cost.

And even though some people may have the down payment, they may not have the income to support that loan and I️ definitely like the idea of the Multifamily house hack model, but you have to think about if you believe the LA market will keep increasing or will it start to normalize over the short term?

Call your lawyer.You should give notice of future rent increases upon possession.

That's not my model, and it's not how I will solve your problem.

If she's already left the home, there's no need to file for possession.
