Los Angeles has many STR's but it's definitely not the best market for them since the regulations continue to get more strict as time goes.

@Sarah Kensinger Good idea on narrowing down my ideal guest/customer like the book The Pumpkin Plan talks about.

Throw an LLC together with a few people with $1m each, and buy it, San Francisco isn't short of folks who got lucky with this or that IPO and have the money, most of those tech companies have an unofficial employee-maintained slack/discord channel where they talk about real estate stuff.

Hello everyone,
   Having recently moved here from Memphis, TN, I've been immersing myself in understanding the local market dynamics and am eager to connect with all of you.
I'm particularly interested in discussin...

Recently there has been a lot of talk about how friggin' annoying the spam from the Columbus Cartel is.

This is a lender you can talk to, negotiate with and has gone through with financing the property once already. 

Ray continues to respond via email ( go to my website all information is on my website). 

We found out the property was an upper and lower rental and I talked to the landlord about cleaning up the garbage. 

The single stairway also has to be continuous to the ground floor exit.

You can keep trying as it is possible to get different results depending on who you talk to, however I do not think it is worth the energy.
