San Diego or Las Angeles Short Term Vacation Rental
Hello BP!
I am a Realtor here in Scottsdale, Arizona and am looking to buy a condo in either the San Diego or Las Angeles California areas to be a short term vacation rental. I have not yet invested out of state, nor have I done short term rentals, so I would like anyone's experience and/ or advice. Here are a few questions that I have:
1) Best short term property management company with great rates and great service?
2) Would you recommend Las Angeles, San Diego, or any particular city in between?
3) One bedroom or 2 bedroom?
4) Any advice/ cautions/ important things to consider when doing short term rentals?
Thank you so much!
In addition, I would be happy to talk to a Realtor in either LA, San Diego, or any desirable area in between and have some listings sent over to get a better idea of what's on the market in those locations. I do not yet have a particular Realtor in California that I refer business to, so I am happy to build a new CA - AZ real estate professional relationship. Please message me if you would like to connect :)
