Voila finished... maybe not...A planner in Polk county told me that only backyard ADU's are permissible, and "such structures are for occasional housing and may not be used as rental or permanent housing." in a email.

As to their Military ID card, there apparently is now a restriction on just handing those out for copying, but you can still request to see them in person, and I have only occasionally been denied to actually copy them.

Realtors are working with best interest in mind, and an occasional "freebie" is good for business long term.

You must also include the original note and deed of trust.Even though title companies will occasionally balk, never send anything until you’ve been repaid 100% in full.

Occasionally, a guest forgets to logout.  

I'm working pretty far out with occasional reception.

But occasionally, one of the parties is just too off in the head to repair their behavior.

We live in southern CA ourselves, and are also interested to find a place that we could use ourselves occasionally as a vacation rental. 

My wife and I have talked about investing in a STR and occasionally using it as a vaca home for ourselves.

A couple base hits here and there, and the occasional home run is more than fine.So, if any investor does find a great bird-dog, agent/broker, probate attorney, or wholesaler that can provide actual deals, I think that adds tremendous value.
