He does have a good eye for design elements ect, so we'll probably try to incorporate enough of that into the deal to qualify him as active.All the best! 

Stay in corporate America.

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?

But if you can find a way to incorporate common financial sense, you’ll not only thank yourself later but even be able to afford to buy yourself an expensive treat!

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. 

Definiely will offer our time and my wife is a graphic designer, maybe she can design some work for some of them.

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.

There wouldn’t be much activity outside of a little bit of branding and stuff (I do graphic design work so making logos and stuff is fun for me).

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.

I am in no way an expert in all the laws being incorporated right, my thoughts were exactly what you referred to as replacing a tenant because of end of lease vs lack of payment, which again not being an expert in new laws, might be a loophole giving us the landlord a little of the power back on our investments.
