This is correct. No closet means.. it's a "den".

Ugly looking house. I love it!!!

Congrats!!

Get an attorney who specializes in evictions. You dont want to make a mistake in a case like this, especially in California (NOT landlord friendly).

If there are any technical mistakes in the eviction filing, you will have to start over.

Standard guru marketing.

Secret info. Special opportunity that will "expire soon".

And.. for some reason.. they need to know if YOU qualify..

One more point about S8. It's a Federal program... But it's managed LOCALLY. So a lot depends on what the city office is like. I can think of one city that I would NEVER rent S8 in. Because I would have to deal with the bozos in that office.

I would call the lcoal Housing office and talk to some of the people there. Get a feel for what they are like and how they handle problem tenants.

Correct.

This why a "den" does not count as a bedroom. No closet.

Standard is 2 people per bedroom. But the adult might command 1 bedroom alone. So this case is VERY borderline.

Agreeing with the other answers.

"Comps average $230K without pool and patio. Motivated out-of-state sellers tired of renting and asking $259K."

These 2 statements don't seem to go together? A motivated seller asking 110% of value?

I have seen this a few times. As mentioned, it can be a discrepancy at the county office.

One possible explanation is if an addition was made to the house. If it was not permitted (not so good) or if the county somehow did not update their records (better), that can be a reason for the discrepancy.
