Also in order to get full occupancy, I could try things like 6 months free rent w/ 5 year contract, as well as improving the premises and maybe adding something like a tennis court or recreational area.And here are two ideas of mine:Could someone get electric generators and sell electricity to the tenants?

@Dev Paul Yes, each city in the Coachella Valley has a different vacation rental ordinance, rules, regulations and sometimes even business models when leveraging large events such as the tennis tournament and Coachallea/Stagecoach etc.

Beyond the beach, there are world-class golf courses and other activities such as tennis and boating.

I remodeled one of the kitchens and soon after the sewer line collapsed under that very room so I had to pull out the new cabinets I had just installed, rip up the new floor I had just put down, jack hammer 5 feet into the slab, and replace a drain line that was infested with sludge worms who live in sewers eating human waste and never see daylight their whole lives and are absolutely revolting (I had to look up what they were). 5 years later theres a coffee shop on the same block whose owner is not only a two-time Brewer’s Cup champion but also a Q Grader (a prestigious certification akin to that of a Master Sommelier, (I had to look that up too).

Obviously, I don't know exactly what he's renting short-term or whether it comes with tennis courts and a boat for guests, but, based on his question of just keeping his homeowners in place and the premium down, in Los Angeles??? 

If they buy it themselves, I suspect few would want such excessive coverage.Originally posted by Nathan Emmert:Americans are far from compassionate If you had bothered to do even two minutes of research before putting out such stuff, you would learn that people in teh USA are champions with regard to donations to charities.

There's the tennis thing in Delray which is huge.

Another pro = within an HOA community there may be amenities that will be attractive to your renters (pools, small park, tennis court, etc.) and this can raise your rental rates above what they'd be without them.  

I play tennis on my high school team that was ranked #2 in the state for 5A and worked very hard to earn my spot and perform at that high of a level.

I am a licensed agent and property manager with Champions Real Estate and have purchased over a dozen fourplexes as well as a handful of duplexes in Everett since 2014.
