I’m the property owner and wanting to see if what I’m dealing with is “legal” or illegal (just plain unethical) We called a “we buy houses for cash” company out of Colorado.

Sell with Owner Financing.  

The going rate here is more or less 18% management fee but they keep your reviews meaning if you change management companies, sell the property and the new owners are not willing to use the same management company etc. you lose the reviews so when it is marketed you are starting from scratch.  

also - I don’t think it’s the unit with the Rear unit , it’s on church St , wasn’t MLS listed , owner sold it directly   

So how can a judge rule against a bootlegged unit when CA law explicitly gives owner 5 years to legalize any illegal unit. 

Be aware that the former owner, who probably was foreclosed upon, was not happy about that situation.

The core Lifestyles Unlimited model is to be an Independent Rental Owner of Apartment Communities.

And then add any other changes you want about utilities, pets, etc etc. 

I currently owe $197k (I used and FHA owner occupied for a small down payment), and I think that I could sell it for at least $275k.

Unfortunately, it seems that I may need to replace all the carpets upstairs since it has black lines on the edges due to soil filtration (previous owners didn't clean their air filters often).I'm feeling very optimistic right now, but have spent a whole week just trying to decide on a good value LVP so I can replace the 1st floor...
