I'm not sure if California would ever do anything to address this:-( is this just a hold over tenant that stopped paying or was it someone who broke in and actually squatted makes a big difference.

About 15 different operators.   

San Bruno is good, there're few that's being targeted as prime area for flipper (buy 800k sell 1.4m).Around Berkeley is good too especially near the hill.Please do note when asset price is 1 mil, the trajectory of asset appreciation is different than the one below 1 mil.So these area when we said "Berkeley", has large area ranges, usually the higher elevation home is always priced way higher than the downtown.

However, time in the market makes all the difference in the world!

We have 2 different entrances to get into our basement.

You may also want to review the rules for property tax reassessment while title to real property is held within a business entity like an LLC, as the rules are different than when title is held by an individual or trust.

I investigated about 5 different systems and Innago was the first I came across that fit my need. 

If you can afford both a condo or a single-family, use the biggerpocket calculators to see the difference in the numbers.Hope this helps!

The IRS treats rental income from family differently from other renters.

Probably not, but would like some confirmation please.And I'm curious as to if there are any major differences between screening LTR tenants vs other MTR tenants?
