Because we have 2 doors to enter the house I am rethinking the wifi code lock.  

With the SDCs, increase in labor costs, increase in material costs, energy code changes, land-use changes, existing buildings are a BARGIN.  

Learning the city codes and taking on my projects as an owner builder.

If you could find work in this environment, maybe a builder....where you will meet all the trades...or a city code inspector....so same thing you meet all the trades.Otherwise maybe working in a supply store where you also could meet all the trades.Another alternative is a project manager for commercial construction...that's still moving strong here.Lending I would think would be super tough right now. 

A cheap one won’t deliver, won’t produce the quality you want, won’t pull permits or build to code, will cut corners, or better yet run away with your money.

I also let them know this is a one time deal.It's ironic that my check engine light come on yesterday and if my husband is correct we may need a new motor if his code reader is correct. 

Ron S. there is no legal requirement to post the notices at the courthouse (see CA Civil Code 2924f).

(A) A landlord who is a party to a rental agreement shall do all of the following:(1) Comply with the requirements of all applicable building, housing, health, and safety codes that materially affect health and safety;(2) Make all repairs and do whatever is reasonably necessary to put and keep the premises in a fit and habitable condition;(3) Keep all common areas of the premises in a safe and sanitary condition;(4) Maintain in good and safe working order and condition all electrical, plumbing, sanitary, heating, ventilating, and air conditioning fixtures and appliances, and elevators, supplied or required to be supplied by the landlord;(5) When the landlord is a party to any rental agreements that cover four or more dwelling units in the same structure, provide and maintain appropriate receptacles for the removal of ashes, garbage, rubbish, and other waste incidental to the occupancy of a dwelling unit, and arrange for their removal;(6) Supply running water, reasonable amounts of hot water, and reasonable heat at all times, except where the building that includes the dwelling unit is not required by law to be equipped for that purpose, or the dwelling unit is so constructed that heat or hot water is generated by an installation within the exclusive control of the tenant and supplied by a direct public utility connection;(7) Not abuse the right of access conferred by division (B) of section 5321.05 of the Revised Code;(8) Except in the case of emergency or if it is impracticable to do so, give the tenant reasonable notice of the landlord's intent to enter and enter only at reasonable times.

Use a standard color and save the paint code saving even more money as you can just touch up bad areas and will match perfectly.For higher rehabs or my own house, flat on the ceiling and eggshell for walls. 

So far I have sent Post Cards and Yellow Letters, and I have used Facebook Ads to market to the zip code I am currently targeting.
