Hello.

I'd like to open hostel in Los Angeles, CA.

Does somebody know, how to find a good place for rent?

Can I open a hostel in a private house?

Hi Dima,

Offhand, I don’t know the zoning laws in California regarding hostels in private houses. You might visit the guys at the Department of Regional Planning to ask about zoning restrictions and permissions. If they can’t give you the answers you need, maybe they can direct you to the right office.

It's probably a good idea to at least give them a call before you start looking for properties to make sure you concentrate on places that present legal possibilities.

Good luck!

My wife and I bought this 23 unit apartment building over 20 years ago. It had existed as an apartment building for many years before our purchase. Later we found out that when it was built in 1949 that it was a small hotel. Now the city of Los Angeles wants us to convert it back again. We were contacted by a company that leases buildings and converts them to Hostels. They told us because of the location of our building it would be ideal for a hostel and they would pay us a certain amount per month that would cover our loan payments plus other owners costs plus some profit and they would run the Hostel business making additional profit. We need to find this company or one like it. I don't know how much experience you have or if you could link up with an established hostel company to put this together.
