@Tobias JonesesYeah, I don't know California, so talk to a local STR-friendly agent.

Are you focusing on local investments within LA County, or are you considering opportunities outside the area as well?

Always a cheerleader for our local market & think we face many headwind, but this is is massively overblown in my opinion and certainly there is absolutely no data that we have seen an effect from this as of yet, again if anything our suburbs inventory has gotten tighter.

It could be worth reaching out to some local brokers to ask them, as they may be able to better guide you. 

Any tips or tools for evaluating the local market would be greatly appreciated.

We’re considering reaching out to local hospitals to offer it as housing for travel nurses and doctors, but we’d love to hear any advice or suggestions on the best approach this?

HUDuser.org is great for vacancy rates, but cross-referencing with local market reports is important for more context.For job diversity and employers, LinkedIn or regional economic development websites often provide insights.

I put my money where my mouth is and I am also buying properties in localities where I am selling to my investor clients. 

If you’re interested in investing here, I’d encourage you to speak with a knowledgeable local real estate professional or lender to get accurate guidance.

Since when should any local govt have the right to tell someone they can't rent or lease their property or other items.
