@Matthew Brown If you don't mind diversifying your real estate portfolio there is a way to take advantage of both financing options and all of the benefits of the 1031 exchange.There is something known as a diversification exchange that allows you to sell your relinquished property and purchase multiple replacement properties.

I am far from a financial advisor (which I hope you have a good one), but there are a lot of benefits to diversification and investing in RE. 

On top of that, the tenants are lower-quality, so it takes more work to maintain communication, enforce the lease, etc.In my experience, the additional work and eventual losses erase any benefits of Section 8.

I’m not sure if your basement might benefit from a similar source of heat.

However, Southern California—particularly cities like Los Angeles, San Diego, and coastal communities—benefits from a warm climate and constant demand, which helps to mitigate seasonal slowdowns.

If the owner isn’t interested in a cash sale, the agent can then provide a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) and discuss the benefits of listing the property on the MLS.A key point to remember: You do not need to sign a listing agreement with that agent just to receive a cash offer.

I was trying to figure out how to answer potential questions from owners and what benefits they receive by selling to me, like no liability from squatters as you mentioned.

Hey Terrance, I'm glad to connect with you and could be of benefit in any areas you may need assistance with.

Excessive complaints or three violations in three years could lead to losing the ability to operate​.Impact on Neighborhoods: Non-owner-occupied STRs (Type 2) may cause friction in residential neighborhoods, as they often function like businesses, which can disrupt the local community atmosphere.Recent Regulations (2024 Updates):1) STR operators must obtain a permit for either Type 1 or Type 2 properties, depending on whether the owner lives on-site.2) Platforms like Airbnb are required to remove any listings that lack a valid permit.3) New noise and occupancy regulations apply, with stricter enforcement through permit revocations and finesThese regulations are part of the city's efforts to balance the benefits of STRs with the preservation of neighborhood quality and local safety standards.4o
