There are good entitlement consultants in LA who you could maybe pick their brain and they may give you some tips.

I’m just looking for tips from people that have kinda been in my same situation and might have some advice for us.

Thanks for the tips all, I will call them up and check their website and the link posted here. 

My question for experienced MLO's out there is, what are some tips you'd give to a new MLO looking to build business?

We go there every year, love the pools and its an awesome place.   

We just moved to San Diego and would appreciate any tips on getting in contact with potential hosts needing some assistance! 

Does anyone  have advice/tips for lending  options  . 

Additionally, I would greatly appreciate any insights or examples of successful ad creatives that have worked well for your STR properties.We've got a direct booking website getting built at the moment (which I'm particularly excited about), but then the next step will be promoting it, so I'm curious to get some thoughts and feedback around this.I know not everyone is excited about direct booking sites, but I'm mostly curious about the people who actually do have them and how it's promoted.Thanks for any tips!

Thanks for those tips, I'll check them out.

The negligence thing has always been interesting to me because it seems so subjective...Gross negligence seems a more straight forward - rare to no inspections, known issues, complete ignorance of potential issues/lack of due diligence (ie: fence around pool w/ locked gate) etc.
