Hard not to be happy when you can walk to the beach in flip flops, shorts, and a T-shirt 12 months out of the year.

If you market the property without a Real Estate license (like posting pictures or publishing the home address on Craigslist), you are potentially committing a crime.

I believe you are only committed to living in the house for one year.  

OK, I'm going to stir the pot on this one a bit, here goes ... personally, I think escalator clauses are chicken s$%t ... if I were selling a property (and I have been in this situation), I would NOT accept escalator clauses, but rather just instruct the buyer to send in their highest and best offer.

I just read "NOLO Every Landlord's Legal guide".I'm confused with this scenario:Let's say the Property is located in a very desirable location in California, very easy to find tenants.Tenant [T] : has 750 credit score, she has clean records.1-month later, [T] want his new boyfriend [B] to stay as her roommate (also to save money on her rent).As landlord, is it really important to add [B] on the lease as co-tenant?.

Their request was that if I allowed them to move in to my home as soon as possible, that they were willing to forfeit the credit for some home repairs and also that they would provide a "Loan Commitment Letter" from the lender, letting me know that they were approved and all they were waiting for was for Quality Control to give the green light.

It is best to do it while you are young because you have time on your side and can make certain life-style choices that might not be possible with a family or other "adult" commitments.
