Hi All,New Member, Always wanted to invest or start to invest in a rental property, Hoping to learn from like mind individuals, Thank you all!

I just bought my first property here in Southern California (Riverside).

Some settling of a property is to be expected but if it significant enough to be causing issues such as slanted floors, door openings not being square, windows that won't open, etc.

I'd love to get info/opinions on whether there is a "standard" amount of time to increase rents in the Bay Area for Single Family Homes.How do property management companies/landlords handle rent increases for existing renters? 

Owner finance?

My wife and I purchased our first rental property here in Maui in June of 2023 to use as an STR as it was a consistent market, numbers worked, and we live 5 minutes away from the property so self-managing made sense! 

For multifamily investments, using the LLC name is typically sufficient for legal and banking purposes, as advised by your CPA and banker.A DBA may be useful if you want a separate brand or manage multiple properties under different names, but it’s not required for most investors.

Hi All,I received an accepted offer on a property but unfortunately was not able to find the funding in time.

When an agent send you a video of a property walk through what are key items you are looking out for?

However Property tax's some of the lowest in the coutnry and property maintenance same thing if you buy a stucco home with a tile roof.No real major weather threats like many markets  IE hail storms wind storms etc.. can get windy but thats common..
