Though, this process will be the same for the other state (if you created a CA LLC you may need to register it as a foreign LLC in the state in which you are doing business/holding property).

If they refuse to pay, they will go without hot water, and maybe they'll choose to move out early. 

Something has to give in the market, and in the meantime, I'm enjoying the process and the journey and will be ready.

Anyway, you would be very smart to immediately consult with an attorney very familiar with this process in CA.

For example one big row of 15 units isn't optimal but if I want to break them up I would have to have 20' between blocks, which would kill yield.Instead of waiting for them to modernize their multi-family regs (at least a year out, maybe two) or sucking it up and living with the costs as things stand, I could instead do 5 "triplexes" of single-family + 2 ADUs and bypass some restrictions (only 5' setbacks between blocks, 1 parking space per ADU unit instead of 1.75, etc.).But I'm concerned that Seattle builders may quickly move away from this strategy as HB1110 will (in Seattle and many other larger cities/counties, but not mine) soon enable sixplex townhouses in pretty much all the areas where the condo-ized ADU strategy has been mushrooming. 

I am thinking about moving into a new home in the Bay Area and just got pre-approved for up to $800k conventional financing not FHA due to me owning rentals.

That is a lot of info to process for a first timer and i like to be exact or as close to as i can be when it comes to numbers.Thank you!

I am a beginner investor, I started off house hacking but due to my occupation I had to move and now that is being used as a long term rental.

My contractor is great, referred by a fellow successful investor and also shared that, he himself stays away from Shaker for similar reasons (inspectors, process etc).

I came across an abandoned multi-bay self-service car wash and found myself thinking about...opportunities.Also, as someone who recently moved into an apartment (from a single family house), it has been challenging for me to use self-serve car washes because they do not allow buckets during the wash and the clock is ticking with regard to your service time.
