., San Diego, and others)—making it feel like a “natural” choice for a regional traveller wanting to get away for a short weekend. 

I personally left San Diego in 2017 and bought my home in Riverside County for $155,000.

Hi Jerry, yes, San Francisco has some great limitations on STR's.

Silema, Malta; Lucca, Italy; Taormina area, Sicily; Palermo, Sicily; Amalfi coast; Cinque Terra; Pontedore;  San Sebastián, Spain; etc.  

My market is San Diego so I do not have direct referral for a GC in north Hollywood but I will say my preferred way to get contractors is direct referral.

@Josue Ramos I would recommend areas like DFW, HOU, SAN, OKC, Tulsa, Memphis or even Little Rock.

I believe many of the fire victims will first look in Los Angeles, then OC, then San Diego, then Santa Barbare. 

I’ve seen this issue in San Diego, where a friend of mine worked with a city planner to rezone a lot for duplexes and triplexes.

Insurance would cover it, I would pay the deductible, and no assets would be lost.If you are in an area like San Diego where people are more likely to sue, a judge is more likely to find you guilty, and the payout is expected to be higher, you may consider an umbrella insurance policy.

The major pieces of information you are missing include NOI which includes deducting all of your operating expenses from your gross rents sans debt service, market dynamics (what are vacancy rates and asking rents like in the market the building is located in?)
