I am interested in establishing a Short-Term Rental (STR) in Oceanside and noticed on the City website that STRs are permitted only in the Coastal area.

And if you have multiple series inside the LLC you will not be permitted to use the name of the LLC on subsequent applications for additional series.

Of course, there are a lot of things to look out for...setting up an appropriate contingency reserve for unexpecteds, getting an accurate scope of work, properly knowing what your time-value-of-money costs are going to be, making sure you're contractor is not pulling crews for other customers, knowing codes and getting your permitting right, and the list goes on.

Duplex have different zoning that may permit additional units.

Each contained historic use permits and have continually operated as 3- family buildings.  

@Ka Vangyes, you can use a HELOC for a down payment as long as your debt to income ratio permits getting a loan for the balance.however, i strongly, strongly recommend against it. 

The costs of land  , engineering , site work , permits , labor , and building materials make this virtually impossible . then there are zoning issues and the rest of the politics that go along with this . 

Let’s talk about your permit.

The zoning will define the permitted uses (this will tell you if you can have an RV/Boat storage there) and it will define the density (this will tell you how many tiny homes you can add).You'll want to make sure you don't conflict the existing duplex to a new use or mixed use where you might put the existing use out of compliance. 

The only place they WILL NOT JV is in my home city of Philly... go figure. something about taking too long for permits and inspections.
