How are you writing-up the addendum to the lease, what terms are you incorporating into the addendum about paying back the balance of the rent?

Your post is not clear on if you are in the city of San Diego, some other city in San Diego county, or incorporated area.I am assuming zoning already allows someone to legally live in RVs on the property. 

I am concerned with whether we should incorporate (LLC I'm assuming) prior to acquiring the property, transfer the property to an LLC after acquisition, or simply not establish an LLC yet.

Also you have to pick which exit strategy you would like to use i.e. flips, buy and hold, notes, creative finance, etc... and talk to an attorney to make sure you are incorporated in a way that is beneficial to your strategy.
