Assuming Costa Hawkins holds up a while longer, they provide the greatest control over your property when renting it whole or selling.

Great market to invest in with the low entry level cost as well.

@Costa DeirSeller:massive reduction in tax hit when sellingreceives 6.5% interest rate for 30 years without any workworst case scenario, I default --> he gets back property with my down payment and payments and can re-sellnice check every month ($1,513 in my case)can sell with no closing costs, agent fees, or lawyer fees (I covered these as our agreement)Buyer:no rules for down payment - for me, I'm only putting down like 8% on a multi family buy and holdI get a cash flowing property with only $20k out of my pocketno PMI if less than 20% down payment (this is huge help to cash flow)**it may not count towards mortgage limit through the eyes of a lender**  --> not sure about this, I'll need to do some research to confirm.

While in Costa Rica, I met with a Remax agent, but Century 21 was there as well.  

Temporal House Hack has its merits and I'm partially moving in that direction with recent AirBNB purchases in Costa Rica.

Same day ACH cost a bit more but definitely not 1.99%.

(Even if it doesn't cost as much, that of course doesn't mean it's worth the time and risk to do.)

In this market are the cities of Aliso Viejo, Costa Mesa, Dana Point, Irvine, Laguna Beach, Laguna Hills, Laguna Niguel, Laguna Woods, Lake Forest, Mission Viejo, Newport Beach, Orange County, Rancho Santa Margarita, San Clemente, San Juan Capistrano, Santa Ana, Tustin.

I live on the Costa del Sol and there is a general shortage of good rental properties for the foreigners wishing to live here.

Stacking two more boxes and going with a flat roof would have cost a lot less.You are right again with the timeline...
