It's what makes quick offers really hard in NC.

The team there, from the top down, is responsive.  

However; if a person is qualified, and ready to move quickly, there are properties that come up that can make sense.

A wise investor will not try to get rich quick with shortcuts.

Ok glad I cleared that up thank you guys for answering so quickly, I appreciate it.

Did a quick search and was surprised to find that a portion might actually be excluded.Here's the link and excerpt.https://www.boe.ca.gov/proptax...Multi-Unit Property20.

@Eamonn McElroyAgreed on that one- see above response

I will do whatever I can to quickly move ownership or whatever needs to be done to preserve the work of a lifetime which is my pension really bc it supports me now in my 70s as a rental.  

Based on a quick search, I did not see any governmental agencies addressing this particular question.LA county assessor says the child must make the received property his/her primary residence within 1 year, and must file a valid Home Owners property tax exemption. 

@Rob K. response seems very good, but I want to add that one of the two proposed prop 13 amendment initiatives (prop 19) eliminates the Prop 13 tax bases transferring to children and grandchildren if the unit is not the primary residence (I.e. rentals and vacation/second homes).
