Where are your scheduled gross rents and effective rents so far in the last T12 months so we can figure out offense and defensive strategies.These would be the questions we'd go through in planning your steps ahead.

If you have not done so already ....Time to invest in kick *** accountant and lawyer.   

The city also confirms if the utilities have capacity which they do.Its a simple case of NIMBYs having a huge voice in this jurisdiction. you are doing everything right. just file a couple lawsuits get a good lawyer and keep going. 

It takes dedicated resources to build out and to do effectively at scale.

Please recommend a lawyer who works with fixed fee and does not charge for every min s/he talks to you. 

I want to know is it more cost effective or easier to purchase the property alone and put it in a mortgage in our name or purchase the LLC from him that holds the property within it.

The recent surge in natural disasters has created an "Armageddon effect" on the real estate industry.

Coming from a family of lawyers the ones in my experience that make less than that are usually just not that motivated or are not that good at what they do.  

I've consistently written about the forces of nature and her current and future effects on the real estate market (even while often being ridiculed and politicized on this very site for it) regardless: I personally moved and invested in coastal Oregon in 2018 from Venice Beach Los Angeles partly as a result of the trajectory of climate and have assisted several clients that specifically purchased on the Oregon Coast for their own 'climate havens,' investment and future retirement homes. 

I understand I can increase liability in each individual landlord policy, but one single umbrella policy is much more cost effective when I have multiple properties.
