unincorporated vs incorporated LA county

[Hurbi Briseño]

My brother and I plan to purchase our first rental property within the next two years. We have been doing research and are currently working out what locations would be ideal. As of now we plan to purchase in the unincorporated section of Compton because we have been told there's less regulations compared to incorporated cities (code enforcement). I wanted to know which one would be more logical for us, who would like to split the home into multiple units and rent them out (whether it be completely legal or not).
