Over the last 3 months, I have had two issues with the pump impeller getting lodged with baby wipes. 

Hello California landlords and investors, I came across this post on reddit discussing issues with tenant biased laws in California and lots of the comments seem to suggest that investing or being a landlord in California is very difficult and potentially a hassle/litigious/costly in case of issues. 

@Aaron Landau  depends on the area but most areas it is not an issue when you are living in the house, it would be like a roommate situation.

I just had a structural engineer and a professional builder come out and the general advice is to tear down the structure due to major foundation issues that will be costly to address.I am now considering replacing the structure with a pre-fabricated SFH due to financial restraints. 

Besides, the point is not to hold on to the property but to add value and flip or BRRRR so it wouldn't be an issue.

@Nick Maugeri It also depends on your level of risk tolerance for whether you want to leverage a property and if there are issues with the property that will not allow it to be financed initially.

One unit is rented, and the other one just went through some quick renovations (painting, flooring, etc), but I found a few minor issues during the viewing.

Issue #1... the current lease wont end for 8 months.

I’ve spoke to others that have had the same issue, it’s a shame but it happens.
