Having developed a majority of my career in CA the regulations and red tape for construction and development are intense. 

Careful going outside state lines -- contract for deed is not allowed in Texas.I didn't think COD is illegal in Texas, just perhaps not recommended anymore, because it is difficult to comply with the rules or regulations. 

Quote from @Brandon Foster: Hello Ryan,STR is do able in the north county area but there are a lot of rules and regulations.The city of Oceanside right now will not allow anything STR unless it’s west of pacific coast hwy.This is changing a lot too so you need to be aware of that in your plans.Carlsbad is super strict too but there are some condos that are still available to do STR in.Medium term rentals are as safer bet but way less profitable.

If Roofstock can achieve the pricing that I see, I will use them to sell my properties.As far as your problem, my State has strict protection laws disclosure. 

Keep in mind all this stuff is uber regulated, very detailed, far from simple.

Just got off the phone with the zoning guy and he said since both of my lots pre-date the zoning regulations in the city, they're grandfathered in so-to-speak, which means I am able to build a single family on each one!

Best regards, This approach is neutral and objective, focusing strictly on the criteria, and avoids discussing any specifics about the applicant’s personal situation.

More deals are killed by procedure and regulations than anything else it seems. 

All the regulators have become useless pawns.

Very good point.In the case of Arizona, I have been unable to locate any state law / code that suggests Arizona may have additional regulations.
