Still looking to build my core four to hit the ground running in this promising market!

My STR had 15 Mbps, and I could stream Netflix on four TVs and a mobile device without any lag.

I was going through the rent control laws ( I know, should have done that before purchasing the property ), and a section stands out. https://ecode360.com/30526708#42037155Based on what I can read, the rent control chapter doesn't apply to: Dwellings of three and four units, at least one of which is occupied by one or more of the owners thereof.My understanding is that rent control doesn't apply to owner-occupied multi-units. 

IF the City does not limit to four total, there is a scenario where the City MAY allow up to 10 total units on single family zoned parcel

They’re built for heavy use and have faster drying times—usually 30–45 minutes—without needing major electrical changes.If you’re up for a bigger investment, adding extra stackable units in the garage could be a great long-term fix, though it’ll mean some electrical work and setting up proper ventilation.I’d probably go for the commercial upgrade in your current space first—it’s quicker and might solve the bottleneck right away.

Use the top three or four discriminators so applicants can screen themselves.Then you need to have clear screening criteria yourself.

I'm in it for the long haul so if it doesn't work on a small scale, it won't work on a large scale. 

Writing them down turns your ideas into tangible objectives you can work toward.

This is how government is supposed to work.

Real estate's "gross rent multiplier" is Wall Street's "sales to revenue",  "cap rate" is roughly "P/E ratio".When evaluating markets and investments I tend to start with GRM (or lazily the 1% rule), then attempt to return a cap rate based on assumptions about costs, then I work my way to multiple years of projections (assumptions about inflation, amortization, tax benefits, etc), and if I am partnering with one of my smart friends I have to pull up an IRR (internal rate of return).I also look at regional employment levels, median income to rent ratio in the zip code etc.
