I believe in city of San Diego no parking needs to be provided if within 5 miles of public transit.  

According to public record and info from tenants, the owners purchased both properties in 2021 as a contract for deed.

Feel free to DM me if you rather not share those publicly.

A land trust provides anonymity (you can hold and transfer properties outside of public records) Then I have my LLC be the beneficiary of the land trust.

I hope someone with experience can help.The property is a 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom house according to public records, but the current owner converted it into a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom about 10 years ago without permits and updates to the records.Questions: I'm planning to use a conventional loan.

I often feel the cities are unfairly targeting investor, requiring repairs that are not required of the general public.

Besides survey issues you have to deal with HOA's, obtain tax clearance letters from the government and all deeds, except condos, must be attested by the public surveyor before closing (that in itself takes a week).I don't want to discourage you because I think investing in the islands can be lucrative, I have just seen many people from the states go in thinking that because it is the U.S. that it works like it does in the states.

Many also do it to hide that they are currently being evicted.ALWAYS check public records to find the owner per deed transfer.

Let's take this off the public side. 

I think you need to join a public speaking class.
