Bought a Home in AZ after 911, paid it off, and in a few short years will sell my houses in Ca and LEAVE THIS GODFORSAKEN STATE!
Do it now, don’t wait. The supermajority of the state legislature in the first part of September passed state wide rent control. Put your houses on the market now before property values tank. They also passed a prohibition for property owners to refuse to rent to Section 8 candidates for their properties. Section 8 tenants are notorious for trashing the properties at a higher rate than other tenants because they have an even lower “ownership” of the property than those who pay full rent. As I understand it, they put much higher restrictions on evictions into the the law. In Sacramento, a property owner/manager has to go immediately into court to evict any tenant, getting a hearing date in an already crowded court calendar. We are talking months, if not a year or so later, for tenants who may not be paying rent. Insane inmates now rule the asylum.
Since we moved to Utah, every day there has been a new validation from the inmates in the legislature, the governor’s office, or the City Council in Sacramento to the point that I say they can’t top that. Then the next day one of them says “Hold muh beer, and watch this!”
So get the hell out. It’s the Titanic and sinking fast.
