Information from "History of California" by Hubert Howe Bancroft states that before the end of 1845, Mission San Fernando
was leased to Andres Pico and Juan Manso for $1,120. "The mission had been rented in 1845 to Pico and Manso, who apparently
held possession in 1846-8, though the property was sold in June 1846--subject to the lease, I suppose--to Eulogio Celis for
$14,000, the title of Celis being in later years confirmed." (vol. V, p. 629-630)
