So, back to the original question of what if you just found natural buyers for homes?  

Tools were recovered and pest control was terminated.So we are naturally in a very secure area in one of the safest cities in CA.  

Naturally, every answer breeds more questions, but she has been patient and responsive.

I also assume a 3-4% yearly rent increase, which naturally increases the vacancy and repair amounts over time.

Quote from @Stuart Udis: The natural buyer of the entry level SF homes have limited cash and therefore the biggest obstacle they face is funds to close.

The key factor is the amount paid and the nature of the payment, not the payment method.

By nature a business is all about cash flow, equity is second.

While it’s not impossible to close in mid December and still meet all requirements of the STR loophole, it will be extremely difficult due to the nature of hitting 150 hours, having it rented for 15 days or greater and having the avg stay be no greater than 7 days and not a decimal more.

Then since your out of control your subject to human nature.
