I am assuming this is the same person.I am trying to sell the property as soon as possible, however securing the property seems like a MUST (regardless of whether I finish the renovation or sell as-is).

You're paying retail again which I just don't like. 

The fact that you asked this question indicates you would likely be better off with a turnkey investment. 

Apparently there are some cities in LA County like Santa Monica and Inglewood which do not allow this.How do you check which cities allow/disallow SB 567 "just cause" eviction through "substantial remodels?"

It can work in very limited situations like this one, where you are just trying to remove yourself from title, but there is absolutely no reason to do so instead of a special warranty deed. 

I really like Vrbo's free dynamic pricing tool.

While this seems like a promising start, the income from these 30 properties alone doesn’t yet justify relocating to the area.

just like I said, if I could have a mentor that guide me through the process I would love to be active managing the property.

Start by drafting a written agreement that includes all the terms, like the price, interest, and payment schedule.

You'd likely be able to get a DSCR loan with no problem, but it doesnt look like it would make sense to do so.
