Start out at room temperature and turn up the heat slowly, he's not going to notice.The worst mistake I made as a novice landlord was to think "Oh my tenants are great", I don't want to scare them away with yearly increases.

@Calvin KwanI'd buy new but get bargains lowes, honedepot and best buy have off sute warehouses where if you give a list of what you need and ask them to source floor models, scratch & dents, open box or last years models.

Lucky you live in California where I’m sure there are no laws regarding you controlling the temperature your tenants live in.

@Suzette LoweryWe just completed our first rehab, so I'm a rookie at this, but I'm happy to compare notes if it's helpful.For flooring, we went to a builders surplus warehouse type store.

@Mario Keophilalay American Furniture Warehouse (AFW) is another good spot in addition to amazon and Wayfair.

Houses in SF zoning, Duplexes, and up in MF zoning, warehouses in Industrial zoning.

If you believe in software-generated graphs showing you "before and after" - then I have a warehouse full of weight loss supplements and anti-aging creams and house-flipping-millionaire courses to sell to you.

I bet there are lots of warehouse owners who are letting rents slide around the Long Beach area right now due to the impacts of COVID-19 and the trade wars.

I would prefer a villa on the mediterranean because of the climate and the temperature of the water.

I buy the vast majority new and delivered to my door from Amazon, American Furniture Warehouse, Costco, or similar.
