Hi everyone,I'm looking to invest in short-term rentals in California but want to focus on markets that have a relatively smooth and less restrictive process for obtaining permits.

I am looking for long-term rental property investment opportunities but none of the cities that are published as best places to invest meet the 1% rule.

The most relevant news in my real estate investing situation is news of the November election candidates and propositions.
