On August 19, 2025 Councilwoman Tiara Burnett in a work session introduces Rent Stabilization or Rent Control!

The current tenants are on MTM. if we give a 60 day notice at close of escrow will that be in copliance with CA statewide rent control? 

If someone offered to fund the capital but split the profits, would you take a partner on your first deal or go solo and keep full control?

A mini split is ideal, but even separate baseboard controls will keep tenants comfortable.I’d keep the rehab clean, durable, and functional.

One thing to do if you have concerns is animal control needs to be involved.

Quote from @Kelly Schroeder: The biggest challenges on scaling flipping are quality control with contractors for example getting the vanity light straight and centered with the vanity sink.

This implies residential units can be built at lower costs and provide better return than building a single ADU.11) adding an ADU to SFH can make the SFH fall under rent control.

Quote from @James McGovern: @Jeremy England why do you believe builders don't have control over costs?

Quote from @Daniel Sehy: Hey everyone —We’re actively expanding our portfolio into student housing and building long-term buy-and-hold strategies around Tier-2 and SEC campus markets.Target Criteria:80+ units (purpose-built or converted)Within 3–5 miles of campusMarkets with growing student populations and limited new supplyIdeally pre-leased or with some operational track recordWe’re open to both on- and off-market opportunitiesWe’ve modeled our acquisition approach around high-yield, Tier-2 university markets (think: Coastal Carolina, Troy, Kennesaw, Eastern Kentucky) where competition is lower, student demand is steady, and mom-and-pop owners still control a big chunk of inventory.We’re also looking at core SEC metros — Auburn, Columbia, Knoxville, etc. — but only where value and scale align.My ask:Who are the sharpest agents or brokers in your network with real student housing experience (not just MF)?

Notes can be more passive, while rentals give you appreciation and control.
