The goal in the future is to get the permit and add the value for a future refinance.I have called the county and building department and they said that I will need blueprints of the alterations and submit them for approval and get all the inspections in place (I know this will be a headache and can be very costly).

Alternatively there are also asset based lenders that do not require DSCR calculation or income verification, that can be less costly than hard money, and fully amortizing.

Given that property costs are high in San Diego.

I'm curious on potentially wholesaling lots so I don't have to wait 2ish months for the full turn around.

To be honest, I think we may just need to bear the costs and learn from this and do regular unit checks going forward (which was not done by the previous property management company). 

The cost of renewals increased by 70-80%, which was insane.
