Also that it's not amendable by the actual lender, it's a template from a state program - no changes or addendum allowed. :(  Was worth a shot!

In January we will find out if the city council will amend their policy and allow these.

Usually you can go back a certain number of years to amend your returns.

I was planning on keeping it sole proprietorship or partnership and amend the deeds to the land to give my partners a junior percentage.

However, if both you and the tenant agree, you can amend or extend the current lease in place.

I know UC recently amended their laws to now include 3 unit non owner occupied under their rent control laws. 

They send a lease amendment with their company and contact information as the payee, but my name still appears as the landlord/owner so it reduces the direct contact, but I'm still identified. 

Considering the circumstances I'd file, use a projected number and amend the filing after you get the K-1s

You may need to file an amended return or, maybe that is simply because the prior year was a partial year.If you don't understand any of that, then simply keep an accurate and detailed record of every damn penny you spend and what you spent it on, and all the rental income, and expect a whopping bill from the CPA.

@John Ludwig As a first step, I would send a letter to the planning department with the subject APN and a description of what you would like to do with the property i.e. zoning amendment from R-6 to R-7.
