Unfortunately it didn’t pan out.

From a lender perspective, you may become a riskier borrower, at that point, you would not have a steady income and you would not have shown that the other investments are panning out. 

@Tom Keith I most certainly will let you know how things pan out and will look into Pat.

Without an SSN or TIN, they just flat out won't open an account. 

I am curious how Zillow response and how this pans out.

When you start thinking along these lines (repetitive, sustainable business - not a one time flash in the pan windfall) your picture will become more realistic.

Nothing worse than a bad review about a dirty house.Stock the kitchen with pots, pans, glasses etc and at least basic seasonings.I provide paper products (paper towels, T.P. ect) I also provide coffee pot, filters and coffee.As you start getting reviews your listing will show up closer to the top and that will help you get more bookings and reviews.

Prop 10 would just make your already-negative cash flow worse if it pans out as it is anticipated it would.With that said, I own a duplex in Venice and I'm dreading it getting passed.

Fully agree with everything he has said, although I would note that there has been a commercial tenant -- the Tin Fish -- at the pier for several years now.Also, the Sand Castle Competition is still a big event.  

I too would get an extension on the escrow and my contingencies and hold off on inspection until you have green light.If the seller is getting sued and it is moving forward there is a good chance of him filing BK.If the property is directly involved that suing party may file a lis pendens and could tie you up.What are your damages if seller can not perform, you can file a lis pendens and ties it up on your end.Get title info if you can and seek counsel of attorney or be ready too.Can you close before all this pans out, maybe and if title is clear and you cover your bases might be something to consider.Or might be advisable to let it go and save yourself the headache but that is dependent on the deal itselfKeep us posted
