Virtually the only investors to lose money on San Diego buy n hold are those that sold at market lows.  

@Pancham G.Rock n roll daddio!

@Jesse Bull I stay at Airbnb’s in Woodstock for a few days every summer, so it pains me to tell you that in 2019, the town passed ridiculous laws governing short term rentals. https://www.dailyfreeman.com/n...The new policy mandates that short-term rental owners:• Rent to guests no more than 180 days per year and no more than 26 weekends per year.• Provide guests with copies of local laws regarding noise, fire and safety, as well as a map showing the boundary lines of neighboring properties.• Correct compliance issues within 24 hours of notification by the town.• Register with Ulster County for inclusion on a list of rental properties.• Post a safety/egress plan in a visible location inside the building and on the back of each bedroom door.• Provide the town Building Department with contact information for rental properties that are not owner-occupied.The new policy also states that short-term rental “homes” will be limited to renting out two bedrooms at a time, with no more than two guests per bedroom; while short-term rental “establishments” can have up to five bedrooms available, also with no more than two guests per room.Also, short-term rental sites that are nor owner-occupied will be required to have a designated person who lives within 10 miles who is “available to promptly deal with emergencies” and compliance issues.The Town Board has yet to set a limit on how many short-term rental properties can operate in Woodstock and has not yet established any fees that short-term rental operators could be required to pay.

I am here to hopefully support a meaningful, successful venture into wholesaling, flipping & buy n hold apartment investing in the So Cal region. 

Would any willing soul out there - experienced w TD inv' ....share advice like Do's n Don'ts? 

It is your intent and how you can demonstrate that intent.If you buy a property primarily to resell (sort of like you're doing or as a traditional fix n flip) then you cannot do a 1031.
