Property Management for a Small home in CA?

rent small property

Can I collect rent from the house my friends own in CA and deposit it into their checking account? Or do I need a license? I would be doing them a favor for a small fee. Nothing big just one small home from one friend to another. Is this possible legally? Is there a loop hole that would let us do this?

Thanks

Leaseing a house with roommates without my name on the lease?

lease house

Two of my friends and I leased a house together but because my credit isn’t very good we only used there names on the lease, and therefore didn’t tell the landlord that there was three of use. The lease doesn’t mention anything about having roommates or additional occupants. Could we have any problems if the landlord finds out that there is another person living there? The house is in Los Angeles CA, if that makes a difference.

which is the best property to rent?

My friends and I from university are thinking of renting a place together and we can’t decide if we should rent a whole house (with a garden) or just a flat in a block of flats.

Anybody have a vacation home in Puerto Rico?

vacation property

Well, my friends and I have decided to take a trip to Puerto Rico, San Juan to be exact. There will be a total of six people, possibly seven. All other trips we have stayed at a timeshare or something like that because of the number of people.

I am wondering if there is anybody willing to rent one out to us for a week in March (March 10th-17th). We are looking for something that isnt too far away from the night scene and close to resturants. We are all adults so you do not have to worry about us disrespecting your property or damaging anything. And if nobody is willing to rent one out, would you kindly point me in the direction of acquiring a place.

And if anybody has any suggestions on where to stay or what to do while there would be great as well. I am open to any helpful suggestions. Thanks
Thanks.

Out on bail but want to leave the state for vacation?

vacation property

I got arrested a couple months ago for drinking and driving. I got an OWI, leaving the scene of an accident and property damage, but I have not been charged yet nor do I have a set court date yet. I want to leave the state and go to Florida with my friends but I don’t know how to go about this. Also, what do you think the chances are of me being able to leave the state? Thank you

rent small property

I plan on building a large shop w/10 stalls for 2-3 cars each, I want to be able to rent these out to whoever needs a space to work on cars etc.. What legal issues might I face? I’ve never heard of a problem w/renting out part of my house to friends or whoever, and I even rent out my current small shop to a friend, is this any different?

Thanks!!

cheap vacation homes

1)Worry about gas to get to the grocery store; cut down on milk, cereal, meat, proteins to raise healthy children?
2)Told their children they must give up Judo, gymnastics, cheerleading, little league or after school activities because they could not afford the expense or gas to participate?
3)Forced their family to move because they could not afford the home they are presently living in.
4)Explained to their children why they cannot take a vacation while the wealthy in their schools their vacations at Disney at school?
5)Why mommy nor daddy can be home when they come home from school because they both have to work?
6)Why basic television and phone is a luxury?
7)Why the house is too hot or too cold?
Please candidates, do not tell me how you feel our pain or how you intend to fix it. You have sacrificed nothing, you have preached to us, you tell us you will create jobs but you also tell us you will tax us more.
Tell us how you bring jobs back to U.S.

Why am I ALWAYS “Just A Friend” type of girl?! Please, will you ALL NOT SKIP OVER THIS QUESTION, THANKS?

cheap vacation homes

Ok, I have liked this guy, let’s call him……Jared, yes Jared….for a while now. He’s a type of guy that every girl would want to date, tall, handsome, sweet, and funny. Jared has always know I’ve liked him….which made being around him awkward, because he has never really liked me more than his “Best Friend’s Sister/Friend”.

But lately, things turned in a different direction. (At least that is how I saw it….) Jared went on vacation with my “family” (things are weird at home) and my mom and her boyfriend, Dave, are VERY cheap people. So, they got two rooms, one for themselves, and one that I had to share with my brother AND Jared.
I swear no one could mistake Jared’s behavior for flirting. I mean, he was practically all over my bed during the day, and he would ALWAYS try and talk to me. And I had one bed, and Jared and my brother had the other, and every time my brother wold fart, Jared would sarcastically start yelling and get up and lay down in MY bed for ten minutes, then went back.
Now, another situation was yesterday…I was at home alone, my mother was out with Dave, and my brother was at the other side of the neighborhood at another friend’s house. I just got out of the shower, and it was around 8 o’clock at night. My hair was wet and tangled, I looked like absolute CRAP, AND all my clothes were dirty, so I had to resort to a pair of old Tinkerbell Wal-Mart Capris I got years ago, and a T-Shirt.
I got a knock on the door…so I go to open it. I pear only my head around the door, and there is Jared with one of his friends.
I explained my brother wasn’t home, and where he could find him, and Jared boldly says, “I don’t believe you.” and barges through the door to go to my brothers room where he is usually found. (My house is known to be “open to the public” it seems.) I back into MY room, because I am freaking out because of my out fit. And when he comes back to the front door I open my door to my room a crack and say to go to my brother’s friends house, but he like wouldn’t leave, and he kept asking me if I liked his friend who was hiding next to the door to scare me, so when he does, I literally kicked them both out of the house!
Then he yells to come play a game of man-hunt (yes we are childish) so when we did, he kept wanting me to switch to his team, and when we had a lemonade break he came and sat right next to me, and we were like an inch apart! My mom even noticed (which is a step up for her)!

So, I really thought at that point he liked me, and today he texted me that he was inviting me and my brother to go fishing. I mean really, hint hint!

But, when I’m around him I always act completely stupid. I’m sooo shy and self-conscious.(I mean, I am NOTHING like some of his past girl friend. She was pretty, tall and skinny. And let me just say I’m not any of the three…)

So just two hours ago I asked one of my best friends to text him and ask him if he likes me, and she has been texting him for awhile, and he has always been very open with her, and here is his response, “No, I don’t like her anymore than just a friend. Plus, I’m not dating anyone younger than me for awhile now!”

I mean, WOAH. WTF!!! First off, I’m only a YEAR yonger than he is, and what is with all the FLIRTING and doing stuff together! I mean come on, really??? Can someone explain what’s wrong with this picture, am I missing someone? Was he NOT flirting, and just being a guy-friend?

Should we move to Florida from the Midwest?

sell vacation home

Asking senior citizens as we value your wisdom and also you may have already faced such a move in your life. I would really like people who currently live in Florida to answer please so I can get a “local’s” perspective. My husband and I are both college graduates. Though we make mortgage payments, even with the current economy, we could sell our home for more than what we paid and end up with a profit. My husband and I feel we could both get decent jobs in Florida and one of us would probably move first and rent until the house sells or until the other one of us gets a job there also. I work in healthcare. Also with the prices of homes right now in Florida, we would then be able to pay cash and outright own the home we buy in Florida. And, we would not have any other debt. We do not have any family here where we currently live nor do we have family in Florida, but we do have friends who live there and we vacation there often. We are so tired of the cold, and we also believe it would be a healthier lifestyle for us. Is there any reason anyone can think of why we shouldn’t move? Even with not having debts and if our house in FL was totally paid for, should the economy be a concern? Thank you in advance for responses–making a big move is always nerve-wracking, but that’s why we would try to do it in steps.
Wow! Thanks for the responses so far, very interesting and helpful! More info about our situation–I actually did live in FL for about 6 months in my 20′s and loved it. My husband is originally from a warm climate and also loves the heat. So, for us heat and humidity is not a problem. Currently we live in Chicago and while we love the city and its diversity, for those of you who haven’t lived in this type of climate–imagine bone chilling winters, dangerous ice on the roads, having high utility bills during the worst months. While we are not senior citizens yet, we are starting to feel arthritis only during the cold months. We are very active and it’s very hard to spend days and months indoors because the weather is too biting cold and there’s too much ice and snow to even go anywhere. The air quality from pollution is not good. As far as work, we have a lot of experience behind us, but we would definitely have jobs first before making the move.

When applying to rent a house, should I call the landlord or wait for them to call me?

rent small property

I am trying to rent a property near my college with some other friends. I am anxious to see whether or not the landlord has accepted our applications and chosen us as his new tenants (there’s lots of competition in my small college town). Should I call the homeowners back in a day or so? Or would this make a back impression and possibly hurt my chances? Should I wait for them to call me?
I am a first time renter.
