There are various posts I've written that explain why.You just need a typical Purchase & Sale Agreement with an addendum spelling out the terms, proper authorizations and proper disclosures. 

I know there is the San Diego county housing authority payment standards guide based on zip code and # of bedrooms but those numbers are the maximum  subsidy amount.

A new law will require Airbnb and Vrbo to share host info with cities, giving authorities access to names, addresses, and listing details.If your property isn’t fully registered or you’re unsure about local rules, now’s the time to double-check.Question for the community: With the new law requiring platforms to report host info to cities, how are agents and investors deciding which properties are safe to invest in for short-term rentals?

Hey everyone,I’ve gotten pretty solid with the numbers side of investing, but I’m still struggling with the research side.Right now, I feel like I’m spending way too much time manually looking up things like:Rental demand in specific neighborhoodsLocal rental regulations / restrictionsCrime stats and school ratingsAverage days on market for rentalsHousing authority info (for Section 8)General “desirability” of an areaThe issue: sometimes I’ll find a property that looks great on paper, but then realize I actually have no idea if people want to live there.So my questions are:👉 Do you all have a systematic approach to this research?

Here’s how I’d frame it with lenders and title to keep things smooth:What you’re trying to do (in lender-speak)Trustee of a revocable trust seeks financing on a rental held in the trust.Borrower vesting: the trust (with you signing as trustee).Use of funds: rehab/update; exit as stabilized DSCR.In-place/market DSCR appears ≥ 1.50x (strong).Best-fit loan structures (pick based on scope of work)Light-to-moderate updates (non-structural):Some DSCR lenders allow a small renovation/holdback escrow (often limited by % of as-is value and scope).Pros: simpler, cheaper, keeps you in perm debt.Watchouts: draw caps, no heavy/structural work, narrower lender pool for trusts.Heavier rehab or anything structural:Use an Investor Bridge/Reno loan (fix-and-rent style) to complete the work, then refi into a DSCR take-out at stabilization.Pros: purpose-built for rehab, draws are straightforward.Watchouts: two closings, interest carry during rehab.Key underwriting/closing items lenders & title will ask forTrust docs: Full trust agreement + all amendments, Certificate/Abstract of Trust, and Trustee Acceptance/Resolutions showing authority to encumber real property and borrow.POA package: Durable POA explicitly granting real estate/borrowing/mortgage authority, confirmation it survives incapacity, and any incapacity determination the POA requires (e.g., physician letter).

The seller probably looked at the Zestimate or the Redfin estimate or something silly like that, without realizing the the algos don't go inside houses to know how they compare, and aren't accurate.
