@Ilyas KarzaiInvesting in CA can be very lucrative but as other posters have mentioned there are trade-offs, taxes, costs, and tenant laws.

I am planning on house hacking my two rooms as soon as I can so that I can make use of those two vacant rooms I have.In regard to the Homestead Exemption, I meant to say that if I decide to write-off expenses for tax purposes, I'd lose the exemption since I cannot have my primary residence as an investment property at the same time.

So you will need to know the rules where you work, as well as know the sales tax requirements, for where you are working.

They avoid accountability and as my manager often reminds our staff, "they are tenants for a reason".Recent applicant's bank statement showed she got $12k in income tax refunds.

For example, for property taxes, you can search Google for what the state taxes are on a primary/secondary property.

You will also want to be sure to keep your eyes and ears open to the possible tax benefits of investing in RE.

Hi, so I won a tax deed at an auction for a vacant lot but I am trying to determine if there are a bunch of leins on it.
