(This includes character attacks as well.) 

Bay windows or built-ins can be a subtle way of blending modern convenience with the character of Ardmore’s older architecture.

@Jae Jun: Although the conversation has changed much, and toned down regarding proposed restrictions, the plan from jump has been to allow anyone with an existing STR, so far defined as a place that's been rented STR at least 2 consecutive days in the last 6 months, to get a permit and be grandfathered.

I recommend a few things:  define what you want to achieve and why investing in the US is the vehicle to achieving that ROI. 

Most places define short term as less than 30 days.

How a company then handles those situations will define how they do in the future..

Also what do you define as predatory investment?

And then Character and capacity and experince you need them all and that will get you the best rates.. currently I am at 1/2 point No other fee's other than title and escrow and the bank even paid for my MAI appraisal as I had them do 6 floor plans at once so we dont need to have new ones done when i pull each loan.. rate is 7% with an interest reserve If I want one..

The rules in California are getting more and more defined however it still doesn't make the process easier. 

I'll only add when talking to brokers have a "buy box" defined and research commercial deals to understand it as best you can before you have your first meeting or your broker contact will likely consider you to be a low-chance buyer and not take you seriously.
