Permit application was far easier than Escondido and Escondido inspections let you pick between am and pm but the request seems to be ignored.  

i think throwing in some sort of an IQ test along with the application should be mandatory. 

With regards to the interest, where do the Applicable Federal Rates (AFR) come into play?

We want to have legal protection WHEN its applicable.

Also how long would I need to rent it out for to be considered applicable for an 1031? 

We have several qualified people who have already requested an employment application.

To be clear, it is totally ok to APPLY for more than one (shopping rates/lenders/brokers) however having multiple loans going at once (if you were doing a loan for your primary and one for a rental at the same time) requires disclosing on the application that you are getting another loan while your current loan is processing.  

Do you now how to market the property, screen applicants, enforce a contract, conduct inspections, coordinate and supervise maintenance, etc?

Keep in mind you cannot discriminate Section 8 applications. 

When a vacancy comes up in a good apartment on SFO, operators often have literally hundreds of extremely well qualified applicants at incredible rates.
