Real Estate Investor Portfolio for California Investors
Running a rental portfolio in California means cap rates, cash-on-cash returns, and CapEx reserves that all need one clean view.
Regulatory framework
California Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) caps annual rent increases at 5% + local CPI (10% max). Just Cause Eviction after 12 months tenancy. Costa-Hawkins limits local rent control. AB 5 gig-worker classification affects independent contractors.
Economic context
Median household income $91,900. Top industries: tech, entertainment, agriculture, tourism, aerospace. Highest state income tax bracket in US.
Tax load
Income tax: 1-13.3% brackets. Sales tax: 7.25% state (+local).
Landlord/tenant summary
Strong tenant protections statewide. Cities (LA, SF, Oakland, San Jose) add layers.
Operator notes
Compliance-heavy. Solo operators need real accounting because CA's labor + tax code punishes shortcuts. State + local + payroll tax complexity is real.
Property profiles, rent roll, income and expense by unit, mortgage tracker, and a year-end P&L, the portfolio, at a glance.
