Quote from @John Carbone: also the pool cabin pumpers during Covid did exceptionally well when kids were doing school from home and there was a lot of demand year round for pools in off peak times…now those pool cabins sit empty because kids are in school and people aren’t willing to pay a premium to stay so the place sits unoccupied.

I have definitely thought about investing out of state and plan to explore that option once I can get my feet wet here in Long Beach. 

My wife and I just inherited 50% of a family homestead when her father passed away here in Spokane in March.  We are new to the idea of a rental and trying to gauge our ability to execute on it.  The house is paid off...

Or is there a reasonable population of year round renters. 

The average room size is 10 x 12, so you can think of a 2200 square foot house, and if it is a 4 bedroom now, you know there is definitely enough square feet to add a couple of bedrooms, and that's how you can be creative by making a deal when others see that 4 bedroom house as a 4 bedroom, but you just turned it to a 6 bedroom and made a deal out of it.

Didn’t get a great answer as to why it didn’t work in round 1.

In the military as I visited different units as the chaplain, most would voice the same sentiment in a round about way, "the only way the mission succeeds is based on what we do and without us their would be mission failure." 

Get your feet wet, make mistakes, and learn as you go. 

they are going to go by COMPS, and if the comps are all over the place, they will round way, way down.hope this helpsnot trying to be negative, just realistic after doing 5 myself and 'messing up' the last one =)

Is the parking in the 70 feet that is the in the right of way?
