What configurations and any other details that would help to make decisions.

Any recommendations on how to configure the deal?

Don’t be confined by the old configuration.

After my personnel visit I noticed they were 12 modular units configured into basically three 4 plex buildings put together.

I believe this configuration will take my projected rental income on this duplex from $1300 to $2100 and when I add in the income from the 2/1 free standing home also on the lot, we get up to an estimated $2950 a month!

I know I want to be in a neighborhood close to Balboa park, like North/South Park, Univ Heights, Hillcrest, etc, and from the research I've done so far I think a 2br/2ba home would be a good configuration for Airbnb.

The short run shown I would not put one in, but if you change to a U shape or other configuration with significant additional runs, then it would depend on...  2) what does the competition have?

Of course, this depends totally on how the building are configured. 

I’ve looked into some other home automation setups that are fully local (no hub), but am equally as uncomfortable with those options since you’d still want some form of backup for the configuration, similar to way security teams used to move closed circuit security video recordings off-site for archival/backup purposes.
