I purchased a SFH in 2022 that I'm in the process of turning into two units with the intent to rent out one of them while continuing to live in the other.

My main advice for avoiding liability is: (1) work with a great insurance broker to get comprehensive coverage; (2) avoid signing full recourse personal guarantees whenever possible; (3) max out your 401(k) or defined benefit plan with ERISA protection; and (4) strive to reach a point where you’re not personally involved in the business’s day-to-day operations.Disclaimer: While I’m a licensed attorney, I’m not your attorney.

Each unit is individually owned, with some owners holding multiple units.A few things I’m trying to understand better:Pros and Cons: What are the main benefits and challenges of owning multiple units in a property like this with a condo setup?

The property is off a "main road" that goes through town and it is not a city owned street. 

Quote from @Mary Pastoral: VRBO's response to me "Definition Offline booking happens during pre-booking communication: after a traveler finds a property listing on Vrbo, you intentionally tell the traveler (or the traveler intentionally asks) to book or pay through you directly instead of using Vrbo to avoid paying Vrbo compensation.

Very helpful, think this is a great outline of the main steps one needs to take for MTR or even STR conversion! 

My main question though is, does California law require that I use the specific C.A.R.

Landlord laws was the main factor why I chose to invest out of state and have been happy with my decision to do so. 

It's a misuse if the wholesaler isn't informing the seller upfront of their intention. 

As for speculation that this building would be leased by BiggerPockets - no that is not my intent, and I would feel it is a conflict of interest.
