VHS Cassette Culture is Alive and Rad in Los Angeles

      Remember those skull-and-crossbones style warnings printed on record sleeves that ominously warned that “home taping is killing music”?

Streaming still hasn’t taken enough of a shape for us to reliably know for sure where it’s going. But the world of digital media already has more than its fair share of horror stories. Purchased movies disappearing from libraries. Subscriber content unceremoniously dropped into streaming oblivion. And let’s not ignore the subpar visual quality afforded by streaming services.

Is it more lucrative to keep your home and rent it out to tenants? Or would you make more money by listing it on California’s competitive housing market? Ultimately, you need to decide for yourself. But we’re happy to share our knowledge so you can move forward with the confidence of an informed decision.  Eviction Restrictions Photo credit: Envato Arguably the most important factor to consider when mulling over whether to rent out properties versus list homes for sale in California is the state’s rigid eviction restrictions. California law heavily supports tenants in matters of eviction. Just look at all the horror stories of tenants refusing t
