You can call the city planners and code enforcement office in each city and ask what are the current regulations.I can tell you they are watching Anaheim like a hawk to see if they go through with their threats to go after Airbnb owners with a pitchfork next year when the new law is enforced.

Professionals want to see monetary results in their future and are tired of risks that financial planners develop.

@Corey Young,Please Seek Legal Professional AdviceLegal advice from an attorney and a financial planner you hire will be the cheapest and wisest investment you will ever make.Every investment, partnership, and individual is unique.

I had a meeting with my Estate Planner/Asset Protection Lawyer last week.

The results will be legally drawn up agreements for your use.It is also wise to seek advice from a licensed professional tax and financial planner to make sure the agreement structure best fits your present status, strategy, and future plans.Legal advice from an attorney and a financial planner you hire will be the cheapest and wisest investment you will ever make.Every investment, partnership, and individual is unique.

Consult your own CPA, attorney, insurance agent, and estate planner for guidance tailored to your unique circumstances. 

I've not worked with any financial advisors or wealth planners.

Certified Financial Planners many do well.

In Charleston specifically my experience has been  that the architects are integral to the projects right from the start.if your in the city they know how to present the project and get them approved.other areas its different.like in Oregon we use civil engineers and land planners and only bring the architect in for the home deisgns. sine they are not part of the approval process.. 

I haven't done this but as a financial planner, I would try to find another way to get into real estate, especially if you're just getting started.
