Quote from @Andrew Betts: Hi Michael - We own and manage homes in Solara, I can recommend it for a strong ROI, and there is full access to the clubhouse, and better quality food and drinks there, than at other resorts. 

I would recommend instead, looking into house hacking if you want to get your feet wet in real estate.

Hey Jon would recommend checking out FB groups if you aren't local (looks like you're based in the Bay).

At this point, I would recommend having a line of credit to cover these things so you don't have money sitting in the bank doing nothing when it could be put to work.I have 33 units, no debt except for mortgages, and excellent income.

I do see many investors incorporating a similar strategy with new construction builds, heavy rehabs, or in instances where the property was bought far below market value (usually a wholesale type transaction).

If you're looking for cash flow (like the 1% rule) and amazing appreciation potential, I do recommend a market like Columbus Ohio. 

I would greatly appreciate any guidance, resources, or recommendations you may have for someone in my position.

What areas/zip codes do you recommend?

Better rate would help your cash flow.i would pass,  more relevant is I recommend you pass on this purchase.good kuck Hi Dan, thanks for the reply.
