Welcome to BP William, for your reference this is your profile link - https://www.biggerpockets.com/users/williamb976See you around the site!!!

So now I've just rewarded your bad behavior. :)Seriously.

Hi J,Personally not, but it looks like they have many reviews online so I would reference that.

Keep pushing forward, and soon, you'll see the rewards of your hard work and determination.

Even if someone has great credit, finances, and references, they can still turn out to be problematic.

What bedroom count are you referring to in this example a 1-bed unit or 2-bed unit? 

We understand this can be challenging for our tenants, but we are planning for our children's future and teaching them about the REAL ESTATE benefits.Do any of you have suggestions as to how we can best approach this or can refer me to someone who can prepare a letter addressing our plans for the build?  

You might wholesale them, or refer them to a wholesaler for a cut of the deal if it closes. 

Do you check Landlord references?

I manage on Oahu in Hawaii and I would assume based on things that I have heard from other hosts and managers in CA that the conversation around regulation would be somewhat similar given that it is a highly desirable destination for both guests and investors in the STR space.Speaking only to what I have experience with here - there seem to be three types of zones that vacation rentals fall into - on one hand you have zones where they are illegal, and while it is possible to run and gun in these areas I don't think the risk is worth the reward if you get caught.
