Hi Ellen. My fingers ran over here after watching you in the Galt Advocacy Facebook post live video. I'm in Alameda County and this involves IHSS a 90 something year old IHSS consumer with property 🏡 no children and no family in the U.S. and IHSS care providers 2 providers are best friends in cahoots and have known the IHSS consumer the longest therefore one provider has authorization to sign work timesheets, hire and fire providers I don't know if this provider has sole decision making or if it's shared decision with the consumer and they both decide. By the way the consumer is capable of making her own decisions but this "authority" providers are denying her hearing her hearing aid, eye glasses, mismanaging consumer finances. Would I observe is altru abuse specifically negligence and exploitation I have been fired a week ago and not by the consumer as usually that's the case but I have my suspicions why I haven't received my belongings that I had and my consumers home and my timesheet for the end of September hasn't been signed.
My fave place ever!
Farmers Insurance is NOT leaving California; we are still writing new policies with some underwriting requirements depending on the type of policy.
Great video! Helpful tips on avoiding mistakes with a 1031 exchange, especially about the tight 45-day timeline and using a qualified intermediary. Looking forward to your webinar for more insights!

Which ones come with all appliances? Refrigerator, gas or electric full size stove/oven with an above microwave range, a deep “farm like” kitchen sink with faucet hardware, perhaps a regular size dishwasher if unit’s kitchen square footage can fit one? And always a plus a stackable or combo washer and dryer??? Other necessities like Hot water tank, insulation in roof, walls and floor, a complete electrical, complete plumbing package, already to be hook up?, Does it come with bathroom sinks, shower, and kitchens hardware??for heat and air conditioning… does a ADU come with a mini split?
Hi, thanks for reaching out. The owner of the ADU decides the appliances so it really just depends. Every property and property owner is unique. Hope that helps.
Great video! Thank you.
Thanks for watching! Are there any other videos that you would like to see? More videos about Palo Alto perhaps?
Palo Alto are Fake Liberals...they talk a good game, but they don't actually do liberal things. 1. they dont allow low-income housing. 2. they dont allow dispensaries 3. they do not offer any services to homeless people 4. They do not have any Planned Parenthood offices All Bark...No Bite
I would use the Redfin home estimate that is more accurate.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
All insurance is a scam.
wow nice video I appreciate.
Thank you for watching!
If construction cost is up 40% then inflation is definitely not “3%” per the government.
Reason number 4: they’re super affordable even in todays economy
Of course yiu are a realtor, yiu wanna sell houses, but nowdays its wridiculous buying a house, if that is yiu can buy one even with a good job.
Yes, I love this type of content! So more pls. Also, may I have Ngu's email address. I couldn't find it in the description. Thank you!

Heather, great information for rental property owners.
Thanks for watching, glad it was helpful:)
In Ohio, a new buyer has to honor lease terms already in place, although new buyer could negotiate with a tenant to get them to vacate. Short of that negotiation, a LL would have to wait and then choose not to renew, but couldn't make tenant leave early, assuming tenant was meeting obligations. In a m2m, the LL has to give a written 30 day notice in advance of the next rental period. For example, if LL gives 30 day notice on June 10, tenant would have until end of July. Unless of course, contract in place specifies a different notification period.
climate change is Bull shit for stupid people who want to be God by try to control the weather. wild fire is because we stupid california keep voting to all the democrat to office to ruin our lives.
its tactic by insurance companies to force CA to abandon prop 103 regulation....There not losing $$$, its just there not making enough profit.....so jump in when times are good and jump out when times are bad... without any penalties.... There should be law that if companies do that then they will be barred from selling any insurance in CA. in future......so next time they won't be so fast to leave loyal customers out in the cold.
Terrific video!!
Thank you for your feedback. What topics or content would you recommend that I consider?
Wildfires aren't the problem. Poor PG&E maintenance, spawned by infinite regulations, together with even more legislation to keep from being able to do prescribed burns, turns the state into a problem for insurance companies.
California is going to have all electric vehicles. Insurance companies don't want to insure them. So why should they hang around in California? Like everything else, the state will have to insure EVs.
Is it because CA is governed by lunatics?
It’s simple, if Insurance Companies do not make enough profit they leave.
Prop 103 is yet another demonstration of top down economic control that causes much higher consumer expenses and onerous business expenses that add to the high unlivablity factor in the country’s socialist utopia.
Not park place apartments because I have a horrible experience and I hope nobody goes through that they have mold and other etc. you can read about them on yelp❤🙏🏼

From Minnesota to San Mateo at 6yrs old, Im now 64. Always lived on east side of Norfolk st, went to Parkside, Bayside middle, and Hillsdale High, class of 78.

Hi, I stumbled across your video and found it to be useful. I'm looking for an investment property in the SF peninsula and most places I've found with extra units or rooms (in-laws) were built without permits. I'm skeptical on buying those properties because I don't want to attract any lawsuits if something happens. What are your thoughts on that? Thank you in advance! 😊
Hi, thank you for watching! Feel free to give me a call at 415-317-2188, every property is different. Its hard to speak generally about properties.

Don't know about San Jose here in L.A. there are many restrictions on short-term rental. For example owner lives on the property etc
Yes you definently need to check in with the city before you purchase to understand what are rules around short term rentals. Thanks for commenting!
