If you're not sure of you preferred direction with your next property I would invest in understanding investing more thoroughly and read 5-10 books as well as speak to other experienced investors.

With the use of VRBO, Booking.com and direct bookings can all raise your chances of staying booked and being successful.  

Thank you tim, that's the direction I'm leaning on and it's good to hear others repeat what i'm thinking

However, these properties generally have a lot of land improvements that qualify as well as certain portions of electrical, mechanical and plumbing that can qualify.

In the mean time, if I have a property I am seriously considering, can I direct message you the address and get your opinion?

My market is San Diego so I do not have direct referral for a GC in north Hollywood but I will say my preferred way to get contractors is direct referral.

Thanks for the feedback; some quick stats: 9 doors across 4 states, about 50% LTV ratio with a Net Income of about 17% and cash on cash of about 3%.....in fairness those numbers include some overall business expenses not tied directly to one specific property.

Good morning, Taylor,We are a direct lender and not a broker here in San Diego, CA.

You can oversee this aspect from the background but don't try to directly engage a GC from out of State without having someone tied to your success there to watch what's going on.

I am a provider in the southeast, but always happy to help investors get pointed in the right direction even it's not to do it.
