Van Nuys

Local knowledge that protects you

Van Nuys is one of the Valley's central neighborhoods, with single-family homes, condos and many apartment buildings, from small duplexes to larger multifamily properties.

That mix means estates and divorces here often include more than a family home: rental units, tenants and income property all need a clear plan.

What's different in Van Nuys

Income property and tenants

Duplexes and apartment buildings come with leases and tenants' rights. I coordinate with your attorney on notices and showings, and keep everything in writing.

Rent control

Many older apartment buildings in the City of Los Angeles are under rent control, which affects value and the options for the property. I factor it into the analysis.

City of Los Angeles rules

Van Nuys is part of the City of Los Angeles, so city transfer taxes apply in addition to the county's. I include them on every net sheet.

Questions

Common questions

New to some of these terms? See the plain-English glossary.

Is Van Nuys part of the City of Los Angeles?

Yes. Van Nuys is a neighborhood of the City of Los Angeles, so city transfer taxes apply in addition to the county transfer tax when a property sells.

We inherited a duplex with tenants. Can we sell it?

Usually, yes. Tenants have rights, and older buildings may be under rent control. Your attorney advises on notices and timing; I value the property as an investment and market it to the right buyers.

Is it better to sell a rental with the tenants in place?

Often, yes, especially to investors. Sometimes a vacant property sells for more. I compare both, including the time and cost involved.
