Hi @Charles T Grimes, Yes I believe lack of competition is definitely worth it, while people will rent in the suburbs, it is likely not the same return.

I have a reading list on my gram account.

Demand that any future PM add it to their lease, unless they can cite you chapter and verse of the state statutes where your properties are that forbid it.  .Wear and Tear: TENANT AGREES THAT DIRT, FILTH, GREASE, GRIME, SMUDGES, DINGS, HOLES, STAINS, SCRATCHES, TEARS, CRACKS, CHIPS, AND BREAKAGE does not constitute normal usage and will be billed as damages. _____ _____ _____ _____ (initials)

I spent a good amount to redo the unit and put it on market and I found a new tenant who looked good on paper with no evictions, clear background (except for 1 record from 2004 due to possession of 30 grams marijuana which is now legalized).

It took the cleaning lady six hours to clean that two bedroom unit ... and she was concerned she was not able to get all of the grime.

Grimes: Hello All!

Just a little nasty gram from the state of CA that makes a lot of my clients think twice before moving property into CA.

Hi @Ronald Grams, that's awesome!

Oregon is dead serious about this stuff ... so is Nevada.I made one post on B P about wanting to just find a MLO to do a note deal for me in NV and I got a nasty gram from the state of Nevada.. stating that yes I am licensed in ORegon but not Nevada and have I done any loans and if I had they would sanction me.Now you can go right across the river to WA and NO licensed required for business purpose loans.IN CA you need either RMLO or  A RE broker.. those who say you don't  are just wrong...
