I would love to connect with any investor in the area and will gladly purchase any coffee of your choice.

You will be able to refinance up to 80% LTV anyway, so disclosing to the bank that this would be an investment property shouldn't be any trouble as most banks require at least 20% down for an non-owner occupied mortgage. 

Hopefully that won't be an issue on passing the vote, or if they even will still be meeting to make a vote since public meetings are being cancelled everywhere.

If you're an investor and live in LA can I buy you a coffee?
