I'm considering short- or long-term rental but current demand is low due to the offseason.

My long term goal is to get into Multifamily apartments.

But does San Antonio have real long-term growth potential? 

Your thoughts and suggestions are greatly appreciated.Leticia My view is AB1482 requires you to negotiate with tenant any significant change of lease terms (loss of garage definitely a change of lease terms, loss of yard and construction zone may be change of lease terms) and your tenant can likely block your efforts.  

Typically, you must give them at least a 30-day notice, depending on state laws.

The way we look at it however is this sort of situation would be OK - but its a one time referral fee - any sort of arrangement with a long-term referral fee / borrower protection is reserved for true professional mortgage brokers - who like @Chris Seveney mentioned, would be doing more legwork on the deal vs. a simple and clean referral handoffvia CFPB on referral fees for business-purpose hard money loans:§ 1024.5 Coverage of RESPA.THIS VERSION IS THE CURRENT REGULATIONView all versions of this regulationSearch this regulationRegulation X(a) Applicability.

We have some short term rentals and management that we are scaling in the area.

While the bank may have facilitated the transfer without issue, updating the title is still important for legal and liability reasons, particularly for tax and asset protection purposes associated with LLC ownership.The title company has indicated they can handle the title change process, which typically involves filing paperwork with the appropriate local government office, such as the county recorder or registrar of deeds.

Hi Robin,I do a fair bit of business as a lender in South Carolina; a lot of short-term rental investors tend to focus on the Charleston & Myrtle Beach areas, but if you are looking for properties that are still reasonably priced and don't mind some renovations, Columbia can be a great choice 

While reading your post I was thinking "sell the Cali properties", but with 3-4% interest rates (and I'm assuming those are long term fixed rates) you will be best off to cash out refi (non-tax event) and use those funds to buy multifamily.
