If I’m Moving Out of California and Want to Keep My Home, What Are the Steps?

And Who Should I Call for Guidance?

Many California homeowners are choosing to keep their current home and rent it out instead of selling. This strategy can be financially smart, especially when approached with the right planning and expert support.
