Please be respectful and share any advice.Pics belong to respected owners and I will try to link them to where I got them from........................................................................................................................................................................................California Town was 95% burned down with over 6700 structures destroyed and is still growing in size.

They lived on the other side of our personal duplex so, while I wouldn't go quite as far as to call us friends, we did know them better and had a friendlier relationship with them as compared to our other tenants that we didn't share a backyard and porch with!

Pull their own credit report and scores and share that with all lenders within 30 days

The owner also shared that this is an "illegal" duplex but has never had an issue with the city, even when enforcing an eviction.Thanks for any advice on this one!
