I'm trying to determine what to price my sfh using the public mls search in my local area.

Or reduce the cost of repairs from the price of the house.

They will usually have decent contractors and volunteers, but they are more keen on public opinion as to their mission than the effects on an area, they really don't understand.

Often, simply saying that income, credit and past housing history must be acceptable let's the duds know they won't be leasing there.The more you say in public about you qualifying requirements, the more you box yourself in in making accommodations for tenants you would like to rent to.

I didn't reduce the rent I just paid him a weekly pay check.

This is essential.You should ensure that you fully document the reason for your decision to have your IRA write off part of the loan and accept a lesser amount as payment in full.Typically, your custodian will accept your instructions to "sell" the note (accept a reduced payment in full and take the loan off the books).

phase 1 is usually 1k or so.... its a review of historic aerial Photos... site visit and quick check of public records and may include some talk to neighbors. this is meant to establish historic uses.. this study will tell you whether you need further studies..

In the public records your new LLC now looks like it's totally separate from you personally.

I believe your answer could be found on the California Department of Consumer Affairs website: http://www.dca.ca.gov/publications/landlordbook/wh...After reading it looks like you would have to pay an occupancy tax to the state, and provide room service, maid service, etc to treat it like a hotel and kick them out immediately.

Most people would think that taking a big, fat, obscene, unconscionable, UNSUSTAINABLE (blah blah blah) California public pension, and fleeing to the Midwest would be the ultimate golden parachute for a common, blue collar working man like myself.
