Do you see any new rental property up in the market has increased rent since L.A. fire issue?

Requiring a copy of a government-issued ID is a good extra layer of security.

I have probably done between 80 and 100 lease options and we haven't had any issues with litigation or anything.

By house hacking, you're immediately positioned as a landlord, which will adequately pressure you to learn how to structure your leases, screen applications, collect rental payments, resolve the nuances of managing tenants and addressing property issues, etc.

Unless you negotiate a new contract or addendum with your PMC, they do NOT have to abide by any requests/demands you make that contradict what's written in the management contract.If they have in fact NOT followed the terms of their contract, then you'll want to send them something in writing pointing out the specific language in their contract that they violated and ask what they plan to do about it.If they fail to correct or address the issues, then you'll want to start looking for a new PMC.

(other issue was a leaky toilet we took care of, at our expense).  

I do agree the lack of control is a potential issue.  

And it's not only homes, it's all the infrastructure a city needs.On the insurance issue, I think this may be the end of national carriers.

What issues would there be if I put MY NC house in the LLC that has his name and my name on it?

RESOLVE this issue NOW and make a clean break.
