I have decided to give 60 days notice of a rent increase to my tenant in Modesto California.  Can anyone suggest where I can find a good form for this that would be in compliance with California laws, etc? If there is only one adult who signed the lease is he the only one who needs to be named on the rent increase notice or does his girlfriend who lives there also need to be included in the notice?   The girlfriend's  name is on the lease as one of the people living there ( along with her two kids under 18) but the man is the only one who signed the lease.

I recently began investigating a house  this wholesaler has under contract in Indiana. Has anyone had any experience with hometownbuyersclub.com either good or bad? They are based in Winter Haven Florida. Any replies would be appreciated!

Hi Sandy,  I have a rental in Muncie that a property manager takes care of for me. If you are interested in selling, feel free to send me a private message with the address and what your asking price is. have a great day! Tricia 

Is anyone familiar with the neighborhoods in Muncie IN in Delaware county?

I am an out of state buy and hold investor who buys in Indiana , and I just realized the Indiana Regional MLS has stopped listing crime statistics by city and neighborhood in the "community reports" section of the MLS listing. Is there another good way to research crime in different neighborhoods ? I always have a realtor check out the properties in person before I bid on anything, but I like to do online research as well. Zillow has some general information but it includes an entire zip code in one category. Any replies would be appreciated!

Way to go Ben! 

Hello Fellow BP posters!  Does anyone know a good electrician in the Modesto area? I own a rental single family home  there which is in need of some electrical work and I need a second opinion/estimate.  An experienced handyman who has lots of electrical experience might work too. Any replies would be appreciated! 

My property manager just gave me 30 days notice to terminate management contract for my single family home in California, and I have to decide if I will try to manage it from afar for 2-3 months from 3000 miles away (Alaska to  California) or hire another property manager.

Am probably putting it up for sale sometime in the Dec 2018 or Jan 2019 (I'm 80% sure of this)  so that complicates the situation.

A good tenant is living there (11 months now) and property inspection Aug 2018 shows he's keeping the place clean.

Will it be close to impossible to find a new property manager for a short time frame of 2-6 months?

If I maintain a cordial relationship by phone with the tenant how, how difficult will it be to issue / enforce a 30 day or 60 day notice to vacate when the time comes?

What problems should I anticipate in the near future with or without a new property manager?

Any replies would be appreciated! 

Hi Hank Keller .  Who is the turnkey provider you use in Indianapolis?  I own a rental in Muncie IN (while living in Alaska) and would like to buy something in either Indianapolis or Fort Wayne

It turned out the lien was on the land only, not the mobile home and the land. The owner redeemed the lien after about one year with interest so I didn't get the chance to own the property. It was a good learning experience though!
