If they can't do this for you, consider it a blessing that you learned they are inexperienced prior to going through a full loan process with them. 

Learned something new today.

I'm just getting started and I still have a lot to learn :) I'll be sure to connect with you as I move forward.

Last week, I learned about Section 8.52.110 which is an LA County regulation requiring an owner to compensate residents they are evicting through the Ellis Act (no-fault) anywhere between $7k and $20k depending on the number of rooms in the apartments and the age/disability of the resident being evicted.I believe Hermosa Beach follows this rule, the city lies within LA County, but can't verify with anyone from the City if the City has a rule that supercedes the LA County rule.Can anyone with knowledge of this rule and how it is applied point me to a website or other source of information that would answer this question?

You have to have an investor-friendly team who can advise you on specific areas and regulations.

I only had 5 days to prepare and learned that if I fought it and lost that if I wasn't out 5 days after the judgement the sheriff would physically remove me.

If you DM  me with the address, I can have my team do some basic due diligence for you to see if we can point you in a better direction.
