You can personally go to permit office downtown and for about $15 get all recent permits pulled for this address - worth doing before any buy.I'm a complete newbie to this, but I personally think the Silver Lake, Los Feliz and even Atwater ship has sailed to jump in on any sort of action.If you're set on renting, look in neighborhoods surrounding Silver Lake and Los Feliz to the North and North East - that's the direction LA is gentrifying - Glassel Park, Highland Park, Elysian Valley etc.

The first, hire to turnover. do key hand off if you trust them to be a socially calibrated individual for hospitality and a second (family member, friend) to be the just in case key person if that first person jumps ship. 

He tried to get a permit to build a new and appropriate garage to work out of but ran into the headaches and obstacles that led him to abandon ship.  

At this very moment, Amazon is shipping me a copy of your book.I had this idea that I could learn how private money works by... providing it.

That ship sailed over 4 years ago.

You can get vinyl floor which uses a pressure adhesive and the planks do not ship-lap or interlock; this allows each plank to be pulled-up/replaced without disassembling the entire floor.In (converted) houses, I tend towards hardwood (engineered or traditional), a good quality laminate, or ceramic/porcelain tiles (if the subfloor is stable enough).In {older}, stick-built multis, you are often compelled to use soft flooring options (carpet, vinyl, linoleum, cork), particularly in bedrooms and living rooms, due to sound transference.  

Happy to ship them to you (for free) if you want them.

NONE.. that ship sailed years ago and is now on the other side of the world. 

This company is located near Provo Utah, but they do ship.

About 6 month later I got a great job offer from another company and jumped ship.
