I would want to automate the marketing and channels - which would be where precisely?

Sounds like you have the motivation & ambitious but precise goals.

@Mark HafnerI've been investing internationally for many years but it's very difficult to answer the kind of questions you ask without writing a dissertation so I'd encourage you to ask more precise questions in the forum.

In CA currently only MF properties are rent controlled.

@Earl White rent control and relocation costs equals NOT landlord friendly in my opinion.

But tell them what you are doing precisely - vacation rentals, not regular rentals.
