Felony charges are no joke.The good thing about this post is that you have not disclosed your last name.

The escrow company charges around $100/year and then they handle the property tax and insurance payments, late fees, etc.We put about 10% down, which basically covered his commissions and closing costs/taxes.

Now, I know I was getting nowhere near the 8-12% property managers charge.

From my understanding, a lender will charge a LLC commercial interest rates versus individual home purchase interest rates. 

Does a landlord in San Jose, CA  have the right to charge a fee if I choose to remain living at the property on a Month to Month basis? 

I could tell that you could have charged more for rent but you weren't.

Get your emotions out of it.

And do you charge 3 weeks for 1 month or something like that for this type of renter?

Now, with new builds, you are correct that there are more warranties in place, and less work needed down the line, but as an investor, the premium you are paying for that, charged by the developer, is not worth it.

It's more related to emotions and lack of rational decision making imo.
