Unless you do my other ideas of furnished corporate housing, its a great way to get higher than market rents and stay compliant with STR rules.If you buy a property and sell it within 1 year you pay short term capital gains, 20-48% tax, if you live there more than 1 year + its treated as short term capital gains 5-20%, if you live there as owner occupied you can take the homeowners exemption tax free up to $250k as single, $500k as married.* Seek actual tax advice from accountant based on your own particular situation.

In section 2B it says the following.Under Civil Code Section 1101.4(b), on or before January 1, 2017 non-compliant plumbing fixtures in any singlefamily residential real property built before January 1, 1994 shall be replaced by the Property owner with waterconserving plumbing fixtures.My question is, is this applicable to trustee seller as well?

When I was presented with a prospect that had a service/support animal, I informed them that the property itself was not ADA compliant and any accommodations for a physical disability were financially impossible to perform due to the number of stairs. 

It is code compliant.

Most were grandfathered in BUT the major issue was the need for all electrical/plumbing being up to date, code compliant & then having it inspected with written reports to verify it.

The real alignment like Brian mentioned is the fact that we are the main guys signing on the loan and the lender is going to make sure I'm compliant.

Put together a simple deal package (compliant) and have a quick pitch ready to share with anyone you discuss this with.

@Michael PorcheI completely agree with @John Corey in a sense that you want to ensure you're fully compliant with SEC when raising capital.

@Bryan Richardson I will be purchasing in my name but for true commercial money I dont think it would make a difference since I would be above the 10 loan limit and hence not compliant for Frannie/Freddie guidelines.  

Predatory practices are not my modus operandi. 3- As far as I know, my way is compliant with Dodd Frank which is of obvious concern to anybody trying to do “rent to own” lease options.
