@Ari Dehbone here are the areas in SoCal that allow for Non-Owner Occupied short-term rentals (NOO STRs for short):Palm Springs: 36 total stays/yrFullerton (near Disney Land)Laguna Beach (non-residential zones)Huntington Beach (Sunset Beach area as long as you apply before 3/1/22)Santa Barbara: Inland (NOO in commercial zones and STR-Coastal Zone Historic Overlay Zone), Coastal (NOO unregulated, but court ruling allows for it)Joshua TreeMalibuBig Bear Lake (92315 zip code)Newport Beach (R-1.5, R-2 or RM Zones)You'll have to do your research on specific properties for cap rates and cash flow, but these are the areas I would look in.

You can also invest OOS (I'm investing from out of the country and it's not that difficult).

So I hired an attorney because this is my first eviction and the timing was all wrong, the attorney left the US for 2 weeks and the court hearing was yesterday, took 4 hours because the city systems were all malfunctioning and Magistrate wasn't able to see our paperwork.

There were more seller-financed notes created in Texas in 2020 than in any other state in the country.

Now this is during covid and LLC owner is foreign and has no way to appear in court crossing boarders also was not notified.. 

Can I declare it void in small claim court and ask for my rent money back because I’m not comfortable continuing the lease when their is no transparency from owners side?

That 10% took 11 years in court ordered receivership. 

. :-)Maybe a probate specialist will step in here but I ASSUME if the obvious heirs can’t afford probate the courts will still run the probate system somehow, sell the house and give them the remainder after all debtors re paid off?

Again, the 1031 flexibility will allow you to invest into any type of this real estate anywhere in the country.
