The costs associated with LLC's are marginal in retrospect.

I try to keep the comps within 10% but if there's a difference of a hundred sq. feet or so I'm not sure what degree of adjustment to make although I'm sure it depends on the size. 

I can recommend KW property management/ Sheppard & Associates.

For me, spending the cold, winter months living next to the beach and surfing where the ocean today in Costa Rica is 85 degrees (the ocean in LA is 58 degrees today), then when the rainy season starts, then migrating back to LA to enjoy late spring, summer and football season is a good goal for this point in my life. 

Also get a people search tool to see family members associated.

Remember, our retirement accounts charts should look like a hockey stick, not a straight 45 degree angle... that money doubles itself every 5-8 years... doesn't mean much when you have $10,000 in, but when you have hundred of thousand in it starts taking off.

This condo has rent restrictions, so unfortunately you are not able to rent within this association.

Regulations - to what degree does this area allow/not allow vacation rentals?
