You sound pretty experienced though so you likely know that already.Have they provided any explanation for your concerns?

Experienced landlords do this intuitively and spend a lot of time collecting information to make the best decision. 

Hi, I am currently an application engineer in Westbrook CT.

@Mike Hartzog  has a fund you can check out  Highly experienced in the space.

I am looking to get a team together to start investing this year.I am a mechanical engineer working as a sales engineer in the Commercial HVAC industry for the sate of Indiana.  

This particular building inspector is a third party inspector hired by the township so I am thinking of reaching out to the head engineer of the township with my concern.

@Thibe LuongI would suggest going with an experienced realtor in your area, and attempting to build a relationship with them.

Our STR we use a PM and it is work (we tried doing it ourselves many years ago and we are fairly experienced PMs but this was too much work for our lives - we self manage around 20 LTR units if we thought it was not easy imagine less experienced PM).As @Aaron Friberg indicated before considering STR on Condo make sure that it is allowed in the complex.In summary, the rents are good but STRs in San Diego could have legislation curtailing them and STRs at the beach are not passive.Good luck
