Just like going to an auction where lots of people are bidding and there is a frenzied atmosphere... and you want to be a part of the action...you bid too, is not a good (controlled) way to spend your money.  

And there was no limit.

california has had statewide rent control on mf units for ~5 years.My experience with rent control is that in the near term rents increase more than without rent control.

By understanding the costs you may encounter upfront, you can take control of the process.Here are just a few things experts say you should be thinking about as you plan ahead.1.

California is the only state that has essentially put a rent control type of restriction on home owner insurance premiums.

Your investment is secured by the underlying property. preREO is a new, very creative and now proven format for local real estate investors to obtain control of a property before it goes to REO where everyone will have access to bid and drive up the price.

First, what does your lease say about pest/rodent control? 

I'd like to speak to the it's the owner not the dog, it's a bit like the gun control issue.

One of the best hacks if you have limited cash is to buy a primary residence with up to 4 units.  

The sooner you regain control, prove that you fully intend to enforce the terms of your lease, and that you will not be 'played' by their recall of events or documents, the more effective this action will be.
