I’m stuck in the analysis paralysis part.Background is in emergency medicine and firefighting.

More real estate is a good idea but I am anti anything stock related.

I've always just bought through realtors (since my wife is one... she is anti- unlicensed wholesalers for obvious reasons).  

I'll take a guess: Ultra liberal rent control policies that don't allow rent increases that keep up with inflation + anti-landlord policies = Landlord not giving a **** about the place and not fixing things.It sounds like he wants you gone. 

The city is actively trying to shut down the short term rental industry by using their most powerful, anti-business weapon-Tax.

I’m very hands off so the people I trust take care of me and I take care of them by providing referrals and good reviews and future business.It was also kinda anti-climactic.

Most of the comments I've heard thus far are anti-FSBO.

@Chris Fi only quickly looked at the doc while on my phone (so might be missing something), but it seems like the idea of taking out capital reserves from the math to meet a CoC return is highly anti conservative.

There is a FIBI meeting in Pasadena ($20) which is anti pitch, also the LAREIA is this Wednesday also ($20). 

I am anti rent control because it is proven counter productive.
