I would like to preserve both options in San Diego county, but the state politicians apparently do not share my belief.

It's a myth promoted by ignorant "influencers" on social media.

My advice would be to make sure your purchase and sale agreement has a marketing & assignability clause so you protect your rights to promote not only the contract but the property.

I try to focus on the policy or behavior, not the party or ideology promoting it.

You need to have a purchase and sale agreement in place with a marketing clause to be able to promote a property. 

To me anyone promoting a 36% return I would question and want to understand the risk.

I use airbnb and vrbo to promote my MTRs.

This leaves friends/relatives wanting to help you out (emotional based investing) or people unsophisticated and naive (likely disciples of a currently heavily promoted guru).When I, or any other investors (with significant capital) I know of invest, either equity or debt), we only consider deals where (1) the “sponsor”, or borrower have a significant investment of their own capital, unless they’ve owned the property many years.  

Contrary to popular belief though, law is very, very "malleable" depending on what modifies the position and various lawyers interpretations.

Contrary to popular belief, this is not set because I believe it will give me a higher return.
