Looking to buy an existing STR in Northern CA. We have a few properties outside the state but we live here and for various reasons, want one nearby that we can manage and run ourselves. Curious if there are agents that specialize in this or services here. A couple of my regular residential local agent friends in the SF Bay Area shared they didn't know much about where to find these. Google is useless and I've never had this challenge in our out of state property purchases. Want to buy within the next 2 months. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Love northern CA! AJ Wong seems dialed in in that area. STR Search, John Bianchi, could be a great help too. 

If you need design and renovation work, we are in that area as well!

    California side of Tahoe would be a good option

    Tahoe has some interesting dynamics right now with STRs.  The city of South Lake has a vacancy tax on the ballot for November and Stateline on the NV has a split commissioner board regarding STRs. The north side of the Lake has a different environment. The NV side in the north has simple regulations although a higher cost of entry. Then there is the insurance factors.  All these are navigable with time and energy.
