Hi Matt. San Francisco based architect here. 

Send me a message if you're still looking for an architect. Thanks!

Great! These all make sense. Thanks everyone

Hi All,

This past weekend I had a tenant in a single family house (in CA) report that the heater / furnace was not turning on. I had a technician come out to diagnose the furnace - the diagnosis was that there was no electrical power going to the equipment. This cost me about $90 - the minimum payment for a house visit which would have been deducted from the actual labor had there been any. I then called an electrician and he advised me over the phone that with all the recent rain, it was probably just a GFCI outlet that needed to be reset (it's a button on the outlets in the wet areas of the house).  In this scenario who typically would / should pay for the $90 furnace technician visit (landlord or tenant)?

Thanks!

@Jessica Chow can you upload photos of the existing condition? Just curious

WOW, thanks for sharing. This is quite frustrating to hear, like many other policies in LA / CA.

@Dean Ho NICE! I really like Salt Creek. I usually hit up north Malibu - around Leo Carillo.

Welcome!

Where do you surf?

Hi Isaac,

That does help, and what you mentioned makes perfect sense. For that parking spot rental, did you sign anything or was it simple enough to do a handshake deal?

Thanks,

Ryan

Ok good! It sounds like it worked itself out and made the hard decision for you.

Any opportunities to add more value than kitchens and bathrooms? Is there opportunity for additional bedrooms, adding storage, things like that? Some photos would be nice to see the general condition of the place.
