Most of the failures I’ve seen when investors attempt to “scale” a non scalable business result in only moderate losses and temporary setbacks.

Buyer's agency agreements were already required here before, our regulatory agency just went from strongly recommending them be signed right away but not really requiring them until writing a contract to 100% requiring them to be signed prior to showings.

Major cities where STRs have only began rising up and gaining public spotlight with the rise of AirBNB are more likely to have more shifting and less stable regulatory environments since those areas are still in the process of trying to find the balance for STRs within their markets. 

For investors, this presents a niche market to target families seeking multi-generational living arrangements.Things to Keep in Mind:SB 9 projects must comply with local ordinances, which may include design and setback requirements.Properties in historic districts or areas prone to environmental hazards may have restrictions.Lot splits under SB 9 require that the owner occupy one of the parcels as their primary residence for at least three years.ConclusionSB 9 represents a significant shift in California’s approach to zoning and housing.

If it was me...I'd check with zoning to find out how many dwelling units I could build, and I'd find what the requirements are for those units (type of house, height and setback restrictions, etc.).Then I'd find out what local builders think the cost to construct would be - just get a cost estimate per square foot for 2 or 3 different levels of finish.
