@Horacio Gutierrez  It might be worth joining for a year to see how it is and if you like the benefits.

I believe you should be able to write this off on your taxes...talk to you tax person first to verify.

Keep us updated if you did join and if you thought it was worth it.

    Well, the advantages are access to updates about proposed legislation that affects landlords and info on the latest news and forms for rentals in California.  The disadvantage is that they are priced for the expensive areas of the state so if you have rentals in the more rural low population counties it is a pretty steep fee per rental.

     Isn't it a flat $79 per year?

     No.  There is a base fee and then additional cost per rental in California.  For one rental unit, it comes to over $200 per year.

    www.aoausa.com is Apartment Owners Association of California, Inc. and it is $79 per year or less if prepaid.

    They give access to useful forms including applications to rent, rental agreements, move in move out checklists, and so on. They also organize regular meetings that provide basic information on topics like RSO, 1031 exchanges, and taxes.

    I think it would be useful for basic information for self-managing properties.
