Your rental income depends on your tenants remaining employed and paying rent.

You’re gonna pay a premium up there for that.

what is a reasonable amount to expect to pay a book keeper or CPA to do my books once a month?

We'd be paying for the property in cash but need approx. $150-200k to rehab the home.What is the best way to secure the loan?

Hi all,I purchased a two-unit home a few years ago as my primary residence with a conventional loan, and was told by an accountant that there is no reporting or extra tax forms I need to file as long as my tenant in the upstairs unit is paying less than the total of my mortgage.

However, the space is considered non habitable if the oven/ stove is removed and the gas line is capped. 

Drove by the California Green Line stop yesterday and the houses look beautiful but so much news out of E.

Keep the line of open communication on it all and that will be the best option. 

Insurance would cover it, I would pay the deductible, and no assets would be lost.If you are in an area like San Diego where people are more likely to sue, a judge is more likely to find you guilty, and the payout is expected to be higher, you may consider an umbrella insurance policy.

I am planning to get my first investment house; I don't want to use my savings, so I have an equity line of credit for 50K and got pre-approved for a loan up to 300 k?
