I’m looking at a home in the woods of Northern California/Bay Area to be a primary and live-and-flip. 

Joe Kaiser kind of ruined it for everyone when the WA AG took him to the wood shed..

This also keeps things cleaner with your lender.Have a written operating agreement - regardless of how you split things, get something in writing.

You can definitely run the Airbnb under an LLC for business structure and cleaner bookkeeping, even if the property stays in your name—but it won’t give you full legal protection.

The wood door above is Mahogany.

I believe in most cases carpet is the lowest up front cost but I never use it instead going for laminate or wood.

And it has to follow very specific guidelines, or the court could toss out your case and make you start over.That said — I personally wouldn’t go the nonpayment route unless you want to keep the tenant if they suddenly come up with the money.Here’s why:A nonpayment eviction gives the tenant the legal right to “cure” the situation by paying what they owe — and then they get to stay.A holdover eviction, on the other hand, is all about getting possession of the unit back — whether or not they pay.Since your lease has expired and they haven’t paid anything, I’d go the holdover path — cleaner and more likely to result in them actually leaving.If you really wanted to pursue nonpayment, you’d need to:Serve a 5-day late rent notice first.Then serve a 14-day rent demand (not 10).Then file for eviction if they don’t pay.But again — that opens the door for them to delay by suddenly paying partial rent or requesting payment plans in court, which slows things down.Personally, I’d rather get the property back and start fresh with a better tenant.

But we didn't have confidence in our cleaners being able to adequately assess the highchairs for damage between turns.
