Kyle Thank you for the information.  

An interesting fact about flipping in CA -- effective July of this year, investors are required to disclose their contractor name and contact information.

I would have all the information, pictures, etc. ready to go on Airbnb/VRBO as a new listing.

Connecting with local agents, contractors, and experts will be key to making informed decisions on neighborhoods and market trends.

The information contained in this post is not to be relied upon.

Join off-market Facebook groups and local RE investor FB groups to get more local information about potential off-market properties, and find investor-friendly RE agents who are willing to work with you.I would recommend for a first deal at least to get something closer to home, easier to get back and forth to for your own sanity, ability to check on either construction or tenants, address repair and maintenance issues.

Talk to your agent to get a little more information about this.I agree that if the unit is not permitted to be rented on its own, then it's probably best that you don't rent on any platform illegally.However, if you are able to allow access to the main part of the house, you may be able to rent the space as a room in a home depending on local laws and ordinances.

Please let me know if any more information would be helpful.

There is a lot of helpful information online, especially on BP, but nothing beats connecting with people in your market.
