SeatGeek data suggests Taylor Swift's Eras tour could overtake Adele's spot in the fall, with The Eagles at Sphere also potentially ranking in the top three.

The maintenance and variable costs you referenced above would not fall under closing expenses in the above sentence.

So, then you’d have change title to your personal name to refi using a primary residence loan, so you’d have to find a lender, FHA is out, which would let you Simultaneously transfer title to your name and refi at the same time…might need some luck on that one.Also it is Not a cash offer, which means you Already have the cash when you offer…..which is Why people prefer a truly cash offer, since there is No chance of the sale falling through due to the buyer being unable to get the loan (for their “cash” offer).

To fall in the middle, I will probably use a blend of the PV and FV values so that my CapEx percentage set aside is closer to 15%.

Don't fall into shiny object syndrome or feel pressured to buy something beyond your primary buying criteria.

@Adam ShaThe only person that can properly answer this question is someone that analyses markets on a national level or someone that invests in all 3 of these markets.The answers you're going to get from everyone on this forum that falls outside of the above is going to simply tell you their market is the best market. 

Also, traditionally the summer is the best time to sell and the fall is worse, so I'd ask the agents about that too. 

I manage on Oahu in Hawaii and I would assume based on things that I have heard from other hosts and managers in CA that the conversation around regulation would be somewhat similar given that it is a highly desirable destination for both guests and investors in the STR space.Speaking only to what I have experience with here - there seem to be three types of zones that vacation rentals fall into - on one hand you have zones where they are illegal, and while it is possible to run and gun in these areas I don't think the risk is worth the reward if you get caught.

Where then would my buyer fall in?
