Holding one month SD as someone mentioned is sorry but absurd. 99% of the time they do not leave on time.

STR rules in SD county seems more lax than in SD proper but I’m sure still particular.

I'm just looking forward to the future when I may wish to invest in a syndication through a Roth IRA. Correct me if I'm wrong but since the Roth IRA has no tax liability, the depreciation deduction is basically lost. ...

.- In our experience, many S8 tenants cannot come up with a security deposit (SD) of a full month of rent:( So, this may be their adaption to the market.

I would not recommend investing in SD as a fellow San Diego resident myself! 

HELLO from South Dakota!!!

Bear in mind that Tankless units must be drained and de-scaled each year (by a licensed Plumber), or you will void the warranty.When I was building a lot, most people in the SD beach area wanted the tankless (generally only because they were cool and groovy).

Tell the current PMC to transfer the SD to the new PMC, that way they have a record of handing it off to a licensee (assuming PMCs are required to be licensed in your state) and are covered in case of a Real Estate Commission inquiry.

Alternatively, you can convert your IRA into a "Self-Directed " IRA and buy investment real estate inside your SD IRA.

Well that's the thing I'm struggling with here in SD.
