If you end up looking at properties in the San Diego area I work at a family office that balance sheets our loans and we are quick at funding. 

I am currently pursuing a Master's in Real Estate Development and Investments and have an opportunity to study in paris for a few months.During this time, I am to focus on the office market and investment strategies.

The cost of changing a light bulb is quite a bit more when you factor in travel time to get across town, vehicle cost, a qualified person on payroll with benefits, overhead cost for the office to deploy that person.

Those splits are good for offices or studio's.  

I'm a residential loan officer and I have a client who is taking out a loan (not through me) to buy a wharehouse for their business.

In many states the sheriffs office is responsible for removing the tenants belongings, but the JCO website makes it sound like the landlord is responsible.

But honestly with all the counties and different little cities there are a ton of different ways things are regulated, and sometimes depends on the permit office mood and empathy.  

@Christopher Harrison you can get information from the county assessors office.

I am starting with a hunch at the highest possible level: - Urban office has been decimated and has a huge pile of vacancies.

Market OverviewThe Los Angeles office market is comprised of 210.4 million square feet in twenty-one geographic concentrations ranging in size from the 38.9 million square foot Downtown submarket to the Mid-Cities submarket, which accounts for 1.8 million square feet.
