This means there may be less competition from professional investors, especially in areas where the demand for owner-occupied homes is strong.In short, if you are just entering the real estate market and don’t yet have the capital to compete directly with investors for multifamily properties, focusing on single-family homes could be a more strategic choice.

BTW - AirBNB is a platform where you list your Short Term Rental.

Limited labor and resources : Unlike the catastrophic fires in Lahaina Hawaii there are significant resources in Los Angeles to contribute to recover, but quality contractors, tradesman, plumbers, electricians and laborers have long been in short supply.

Real estate is not the stock market and it's called buy & hold and not buy & sell for a reason.I did sell a few properties about 10 years ago when I learned the hard way that going into cheaper neighborhoods was not the right strategy for me, so that was basically a strategy correction and it was necessary, but also costly both in terms of dollars and time.

We have a primary home, short-term rentals as well as paper investments.
