What are the rent control laws in Kern County?

Class A or institutional- Business model- 300 units or more, usually Climate Controlled, multi story, on site manager, higher land cost, higher population center, great SEO power, well financed and managed, newer REITS/corporations. 

The rent control in UC is about as strict as you'll find too, so a potential buyer could have a lot of trouble raising rents, which I imagine is something you've seen yourself.  

The main argument for in house is that they will do a better job because the turn key company controls them but that argument doesn't really hold with a 3rd party PM that is well vetted and screened.

They will design pavement, stormwater control, grading of the site.- Possible: a landscape architect.

The loss of control was strange, I will admit.

You can't control where you live if you're there for a W-2 and need the job, so you can't influence "how much you should pay" as much as you can influence your cash flow.Anywhere you live, if you can find a fixer-upper off market, the entire conversation changes.

You’re also at mercy of the weather, which you can’t control.

Some investors and property managers require that they underwrite their own tenants so they are in control of their risk without necessarily trusting the screening skills of the previous owner/management.

I paid my way through selling pest control door to door each summer.
