Rest of San Diego that does not have same history as a STR supplier, still has permits. 

To be sure I understand, as long as the tile company is willing to issue title insurance (both lender and owner), it should not be an issue- correct?  

Good evening Mindy,Usually if you call the supplier, they should have a table that they could send you that provides load capacities if they can't tell you right off the bat.

Depending on the comps, a good use of money is having your bathroom tub/tile surround resurfaced.

I will have to provide and buy all the finishing (cabinets, countertops, tile, flooring, etc), but they demo and install everything.For the garage conversion, including the walk-in pantry and 2 bedrooms, the mini-split system, taking out the garage door and framing it and adding siding to look like the rest of the house, and add 1 window in each bedroom, the quote was $40k.I would love to get your opinions.  

For example, they wanted new tile in the bathroom, its an older unit, so the grout is a little stained.

As is price point.. this will give you a better long term outcome.if you buy way under median your getting into renter dominated neighborhoods and schools for sure will be bottom ranked.. instead of going East have you considered Vegas.. lowest prop tax's basically in the country. no big weather issues  desert landscape super simple to take care of.. and Stucco homes with tile roofs no big thunder and wind storms to ruin roofs etc etc.. you can buy nice rental house there is a solid B location for about 300k. just worth checking out if you never have..

You can easily replace a damaged tile with peel & stick unlike regular tile or LVP. 5.

Builder keeps on blaming on suppliers etc, every time there is a new story and hard to updates on delays.

A former tenant of mine asked me if I could tear up the tile in the house and put down new carpet.
