Thank you everyone!! You have been so helpful!

Hi BP veterans, I’m a newbie on BP. I live in CA where I think it’s just tooooooo expensive to invest right now. I would like to know what cities you think have low prices and high rent so I can get the best return. Any insights or suggestions to websites that have this info? Thank you!!

Has anyone used VR Calendar before? Is it good? http://www.vrcalendarsync.com/

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows how to sync Airbnb and VRBO and my own calendar so I can take real time bookings and not worry about double booking anyone? Thanks in advance for helping. 

Hi everyone, I have a vacation unit in Cabo that I am considering to rent out myself. I have a few questions perhaps you veterans can help me with. First is if the renter wants to pay by credit card via my website, which company offers the best rate and service? Second question is whether security deposit should also be charged on credit card or is it better to request a check? Lastly, if the transaction goes through with airbnb or vrbo, do they charge all the rentals including putting a security deposit on hold and then issue you the money AFTER the renter checks out?  Sorry for asking so many questions. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone, I am changing property manager in Las Vegas. Can anyone offer any advice on what questions I should ask in order to select a good property manager? Thank you so much. 

wow! Thank you so much for all the insights and expert advice! I had no idea of all the good points so many of you pointed out. I'm speechless. I was thinking of changing career from being a chinese medicine practitioner to doing something in the real estate Now I've changed my mind. I'll stay in my industry where I know how to heal patients and just invest. Thank you all again!! I appreciate it very much. 

thank you everyone for the insights. They are very helpful! 

Hello everyone, I am a newbie to investing and to Bigger Pockets. I have a question and would like to hear your opinion about whether it is better to invest in buy and hold in Las Vegas or Los Angeles. Las Vegas real estate is growing but not at such a fast rate as Los Angeles. One single family house will cost half a million and I can get two in Las Vegas. Los Angeles is too expensive at the moment. But with the dollar being so strong, many foreigners are coming to invest in the US. That being said, do you feel it's better to invest in Las Vegas or Los Angeles for the long term (10 years).  Thank you so much for your input.
