@Scott K. thanks for your 0 value ignorant comment. 

We would like to hide because the house is on a private road on a steep hill and we don't want folks trying to drive by if they haven't been vetted as good candidates. Not trying to hide anything just want a good experience for vetted candidates. 

Hi Forum,

We have a property that we are about to mid-term rent. Would like to run ads on sites that allow us to mask the address from listing (undisclosed address). Google search was not helpful so I'm asking the pros :).

Thank You. J&E

Hey BP, have a question around allowing a new tenant to run a small business out of our property. The property is located in a mixed (commercial / Res) Street / Area close to downtown Santa Rosa (1 block). We've been struggling with finding new tenants due to the lack of yard space and this proximity. We have a very interested Applicant that would like to live the house but also run a reflexology and message therapy business with her husband. We have vetted them and they are good candidates with income and background and many positive references. The question is can we allow this in our R1 property? Do we need to consult the city or like most small businesses these days that run online and operate in homes can we allow them to set up shop?  I'm trying to get answers from the city but they seem to not have a congruent and definitive answer depending on who you speak with.  Would love to hear from others that have had this experience. 

This is a long shot. We have a new project that we are looking to source new windows, all the typical sources have insane wait times for product. Is there a known supplier in the bay area that has product in stock? The kicker is we need / want them black framed in either aluminum or fiberglass

HI BP! My wife and I are looking for a new tax person that is well versed in the following:

1. 1099 Self Employed returns and W2 (we do both) 

2. Real Estate Agent write-offs (California tax laws would be best) 

3. depreciation, write-offs, expenses, and all things that come with Rental Ownership and Management

4. Market savvy with a knowledge and understanding of current the economic environment and how to tax strategize for the future.

5. Alternative investment management (crypto / syndications /etc)

Any recommendations are appreciated!

@Tyler Schmick would love an update on your doorloop experience. I have a demo with them on Monday.. Seems like a better fit than buildium for lower door counts. We currently manage 7 properties. Appreciate any feedback.. cheers!

Curious which provider you like? We have Fidelity warranties on our N CA properties which has been a lifesaver after rounds of fires. While outside the fire zones, the skilled labor shortage poses a challenge to individual homeowners. Warranty companies are "bigger fish" and have been able to dispatch repair personnel in 1-2 days, vs a week or more.

In desireable and rapidly appreciating markets

1) house hack

2) add value vs expecting the house to fit the model as is

3) Research rent appreciation. It doesn't fix the cash flow now, but if you don't want to house hack forever it helps to project when the rent could offset costs. Are you willing to house hack until that time?

4) Taking on appreciation buys before acquiring cash flowing properties is high risk. Is this the right first purchase for you?
