You'll need to get on a call or get in a meeting with your city's zoning department.

Does the same thing apply to an all cash transaction? 

They simply charge a flat fee per transaction and no monthly dues.

@Rick Pozos  What you are proposing would be viewed as a prohibited transaction by the IRS.  

I outline the transaction at this linkhttps://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/311/topics/780022-3-ways-to-wealth-in-real-estate-cashflow-flip-hold-here-s-how  

It makes it much clearer what everyone's role in your transaction is and what you expect of them and if things don't work out you can always get rid of them.

The numbers I gave were just examples based on transactional costs where I live, but they should hold up pretty well in your market too.

I own rentals as well, and will be acquiring more, but this definitely gives me a leg up in the cash-flow department.

You also have things there that nobody else would ever think of going after, like the LA Department of Administration has leases for campsites down in the Basin that you could essentially follow the vacation rental model to lease to duck hunters over the winter months, and to the fisherman in the spring and summer.

I can put you in contact with the best lawyer to handle real estate transactions.
