Cash flowing SFH in Los Angeles

As for how it currently performs as a rental, I ran my numbers for fun:With my estimated $4,200/mo rent, you seem to be holding this at a 5% cap, but your Cash-on-Cash is rather low, only 2.6% CoC return after paying your mortgage (doesn't beat current inflation).Looks like you should capture the appreciation now by selling it, and either 1031 those funds into a more-profitable project (something 5%+ CoC), or just put the money in a 5%-yielding money market account because values are basically at their all-time peak:Are you yielding much more than $400-500/mo in CF after paying the mortgage, taxes, insurance, & utilities/maintenance?

Heat Pump or Gas Furnace

Gas heat is a lot more comfortable, easier for renters to understand (we are constantly explaining the way heat pumps work to renters, who think you can jack the temperature down to 60 when they are at work then up to 73 when they get home and not get a huge electric bill), and (at least right now) cheaper than electric because of the price of gas.
