I agree that the data exists, which is why I think it seems odd that there is not a convenient way to access it.  

You can do it if you want to be a nice guy, but odds are that you are not legally required to do it. 

I think your best bet is to talk directly with a foreclosure attorney practicing in the state. 

I bet you my panties you will see several IC sites on the top.. always.Coincidence?

I bet there is going to be plenty of turnover which means several hundred $$ to make repairs every time someone moves out.$600+ for a one bed one bath with 2 other units right next to you is WAY over priced. 

Nothing stood out as odd or concerning.  

With that said, the HELOC is definitely the best bet because you only pay interest on the money you use. 

Or, if Santa Barbara does not permit any STRs at all, they might just be betting they won't get caught (not a wise course of action, IMO).Definitely do the research, because if there's a way to do it legally, I'm sure you could make a killing from an apartment like that.  

This is an establish investor, odds are they're not buying from either of us, they have their ducks in a row to replace our role of buying, managing their rehabs, and possibly even managing.The rest of the process efficiencies such as bulk buying of construction materials and passing on the rehab savings is a benefit, but this one is common among most operators and property management companies, not strictly turnkey providers.
