The California Association of REALTORS® has processed all of the recent data and will likely revise its forecast lower in the coming weeks.

Testing on humans to begin soon.   

Eventually, when the cash flow from the rental properties is enough to replace my day job, I'd like to transition to managing my properties as my primary job.I'm trying to test the waters to see if this makes sense from a business/tax perspective. 

Another issue we having is the grounding of every outlet & when the Bldg Inspector came through our 6-unit he tested random outlets & we passed (after rehabbing for 24 months).

With rates less than half that, it's silly to continue using the same test.

Part of the scope of work mentions receiving data from the common platforms so they can verify host compliance.

For example, you can't give a holiday gift to only who you think are good tenants because one of them would post "Thanks Sam for the $25 AMC movies GC my boy friend and I saw Avengers last night xoxo" then your other tenants who didn't get a GC will feel left out.I visit my properties once a month for regular maintenance, mostly for little stuff, like changing AC filters, test smoke alarm batteries, test GFCI receptacles, pour bleach down AC condensate drain lines, exercise water supply stop valves, feel under any drains to check leakage, test water heater T&P valves, etc etc etc...they do not need to be done monthly but that's what I do at each property.

Hi @Aaron Bryson, and fellow BP friends,I am really amazed by your post.I am from Brazil and, although I have been several times to Rio de Janeiro I don't live there (I'm in São Paulo).Before I give my thoughts about your investment I would like to give general data about Brazil (and its real estate market):Yes, it is a great time for foreigners to invest in Brazil.

We have not seen a fraction of it yet...wait until testing in mass finally starts.
