Why It’s Important for Landlords and Tenants to Understand Electrical Components in Rental Properties

Although most people take electricity and electrical systems in rental properties for granted it is important to understand the basics of these items and operations. We open our garages with automatic openers, we flip on the light switch, we click the television remote, and we expect our food and drinks to be cold each and every time we open the refrigerator. All of these things we expect to be functioning each time we ask for it, but what is behind the scenes is important to understand.

Stierlin Estates – Mountain View Is Quietly Building a Great Reputation

Anyone taking their first drive through Stierlin Estates Mountain View will often take it slow, not just for the quaint neighborhood view, but because they have no choice. The sleepy neighborhood of Stierlin Estates was designed with a zig-zag road pattern, which helps keep drivers with a heavy foot in check. Ask the residents about their quiet little corner of Mountain View and they’ll tell you they like it that way. Beyond creating a traffic calming road network, you can’t actually drive “through” the area. The roads loop around with no direct access from one highway to another. This all but eliminates commuters driving through the neighborhood.

Rich History, Strong Future – Investing in Monta Loma Real Estate in Mountain View, CA

The Mountain View neighborhood named Monta Loma has a rich history that dates back to the pre-Columbian Native American tribes that inhabited the region.
