The bullet in the response that is standing out to me is:"(7) The accessory dwelling shall not be a short-term residential rental, as defined by City Code section 3-2-152(a)(2), for a period exceeding 120 days per calendar year."

It’s a remarkable story of resilience and pushing the limits of the human mind.

Let's wrap up our QI selection series with the human element - because relationships and reputation can make or break your exchange!

My humble advice to anyone attempting to do creative finance is:Creative finance is for experienced investors who have access to capital if anything goes wrong.Learn the lawsDon't use a contract "off the internet", laws vary by state and are also regulated on a federal levelLearn the financing techniques correctlyDon’t skip parts of the processDon’t ever do a “kitchen table” closingUse the proper deedAn attorney can help you with the legal work, but the rest you are on your ownYour guru will not bail you out“Investing” in someone else’s deal by providing a small 2nd loan so the “investor” can pay for “cash to the seller” and for “closing costs” so he can do the deal is a very bad planKnow what problems can ariseLearn the responses and solutions to problems before they are neededKnow everything there is to know about Title and what that meansKnow who a "protected class" individual isLearn the "back doors"Learn human natureUnderstand timelinesUnderstand regulation enforcement (some of these "mistakes" have a 10 year statue of limitations ( they can charge you 10 years AFTER you do the transaction) and carry hefty fines and possible imprisonmentThe court doesn't accept "I didn't know" for an answer"Know that the source of the lead plays a serious role in some states and federallyKnow how much of a "profit" pushes the boundaries to invite an investigationYou can be sued by the seller if you don’t do things correctlyYou are automatically at fault if an investigator or attorney or regulator gets involved.

FHA now allows us to count rental income from an ADU (additional dwelling unit) to help borrowers qualify.

If the owner does not meet that residency requirement, another human being must be identified as the local agent in charge.

The property is in an evolving area with an overlay for Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit.

I've found some construction companies that specialize in ADU (Additional Dwelling Units) conversions/construction in SanFrancisco and San Diego but not as many in LA. 

I think it's easy for attorneys and brokers to become jaded and to lose that 'human touch'.

It will not replace humans in any shape or form, opendoor tried it, listing spark tried it, they are the two worst companies to deal with.
