I have 15 years experience as an on-site property manager in California which requires no licensing but fair housing training. 

It seems that California is the hardest place in the country to evict tenants and its a squatters paradise, imo, from the numerous related BP posts.Kudos,Mary   

I am Southern California native raised right here in Los Angeles County.

I was not able too, I had enough to buy my brother a kids meal from Burger King.

Also had central air installed this week; we thought about putting this off until spring, but with the mild weather this winter, we feel we got a pretty good deal by installing it now ($2,400 for the C/A unit, install, and new thermostat, and $200 for the electric work).The only major project left is the kitchen perimeter countertop; we’re still debating over laminate vs. granite, but we already have some showings scheduled for next week so we have to make a decision quickly.

From the tools, book recommendations and podcasts, this community is exactly what I need to get from where I'm at, to where I want to be.I'm a homeowner in San Diego, CA; the list of topics I need to learn in depth is at this point seems staggering, but I am chipping away at it day by day.

It states:"THE GRANTORS Joe Jones Jr. and Janet Jane Jones, husband and wife for and in consideration of TEN DOLLARS AND OTHER GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION in hand paid, conveys and warrants to Charles David an unmarried individual the following described real estate, situated in the County of King, State of Washington."

Hard to say without examining the Order.Btw, I spend all day yesterday at the California Assoc of Judgment Professionals conference, boning up on old skills.

If you are investing from California, I would stay away from the fixer upper properties that needs a lot of work. 

San Diego makes sense because of the low inventory available and the house lusting California culture.
