561 S 7th St, Unit 4, which has 2/1, recently rented for $2,395/month.

Been a homeowner since the early 90's and got a lot of excavating & site prep experience. 

I did some digging, called the broker who claims to have done 1000's of loans and operates a legitimate business.

Depending on what you show in your tax returns/k1's you should be fine.

I am sure that they only had "X" number of days to refund your deposit or to detail in writing the exact reason(s) for withholding your deposit or a portion thereof. 

I think farm style sinks will be one that are big right now and will stick out as a dead giveaway that your kitchen was remodeled in the 2010's.

You seem to have a wide range of experience(s) and would love some insight.

Maybe just give us the #s on the 8 unit rather than all 3 buildings:  purchase price, loan amount, P&I payment, annual taxes, annual insurance, building age?

For a variety of different reasons, it is expensive and cumbersome to develop in L.A. and this can be largely blamed on the fact that starting in the 1960's, much of the control over the building and planning process was delegated to individual communities.So, why isn't the state building like we used to?
