One of the times I attempted to bring up this situation, they told me that they don’t even let their child into the backyard since the dogs are so territorial (sounds like fun when they break down the fence). 2) I am trying to determine if I should sell or rent my house.

@william jones, I personally had a similar situation on an inherited tenant who defaulted after 3 month of acquiring the property.

Although I have already read about the laws related to security deposit matter in CA Civil Code Section 1950.5, I would like the property owners with similar experiences to me consider my situation and advise me regarding the following items1- How to calculate their security deposit and provide an itemized list, while I do not have any invoice in my hands. 2- As my tenants have not left any forwarding address, shall I contact and ask her the new address for sending the itemized list?

(i know it's their job to show me listings) given the situation i just went alone.

I'm interested in small multi-fams. so I can still get a residential loan.My current situation.

“Lets say you dont want to sell...You refinance it again, but then you may be get stuck with a property that you have a mortgage on for 100K but its worth 50K because the market is down and you refinanced it when the market was high, and now you have a problem..”Why do you have a problem in this situation if you are never going to sell??!!

Also, while it's certainly doable to do an airbnb situation you'll have more vacancy and downtime and more to manage in terms of customer issues and cleaning. 

Your situation is one of the most common topics posted by hobby landlords.

Then why can't 90% of the people see this with their own situation??
