Hello Viviana Ramirez , I am in L.A also and a native .

The only ones that currently have priority in all fields are Native American or Disabled Vet owned, and yes, a business can qualify for multiple criteria. 

I think Uber is the prime example of a company using the strategy of non-compliance and then forcing localities and cities to react to their business model.

Great to have another Dubois County native in BP!  

No, that's because the Federal Government reacts.  

As far as illegal AirBnB rentals, I think most cities are over reacting due to pressure from the hotel lobbies and NIMBYists who probably never knew their was a short term rental in their neighborhood before they looked it up on one of the marketing sites.I'm not opposed to regulation but right now, short term rental owners have to navigate a regulatory mine field in many cities that seems to change by the hour.

Are you a Norfolk native or did the Navy bring you?

Nothing compares like being in control of your assets and being able to react when anything happens.

If it doesn't work, you've tried your best and learned not to try to change the major terms of the deal mid-way as that does make sellers feel they have been scammed, even if that's not what you intended, and they usually do not react well to that.   

@Nick Colamarino you are right I am reacting to bad luck.
