Rules are the same whether it's in your name or LLC, however, every time you file an application with the City(POS, rental, assumption, permit) you put your SSN on it vs EIN for your LLC.

@Bill Purvis Definitely check with zoning to see if your plan is allowed and what permits are needed to bring mobile homes onto your land.

If they have permits or you can find info about the topic on google news..... beware.

People doing this similar thing in San Diego won't have to stop but it sounds like there will be for fees and permits they have to apply for. 

I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

Hi all,I'd like to get some advice on the following.I own a couple of properties in central California with potential for building up additional units on each one of them.The first one is a tiny single family home (~800 sf) on a big R3 lot where I can get a permit to build 2 or 3 additional units (although the cost of the permit per unit is much higher if I build 3 or more units, so I might stick with 2)The second one is a duplex, 2 1-bed small homes on a big R2 lot where I can build at least 1 more unit. 

I usually use my handyman to do all the small stuff if regional doesn't require a permit to be pulled.Mike

If so, where and what challenges did you face with zoning, building codes, and building permits?

There are some hybrid management models you can use but you want to vet that out ahead of time.Other than that you need to consider professional photography, setting up your booking platforms, writing copy for your listings, local permits, landscaping, hot tub/pool, garbage, water, sewer, electricity, cable, internet, snow removal, etc. etc. 

You could also check where the new building permits take place.
