I think trying to bank on appreciation is never a good bet.

I bet you are very close to your first deal. 

Austin, I think thats my best bet.

Your best bet is to keep a pulse on the area and fresh listings, but to otherwise venture just north or south.Focus on the areas that are more inviting and often even more monetizing, if you want to improve your chances for a short term rental permit on the Oregon Coast. 

If you prefer less hassle, brick is a good bet.

I'm betting it's a small multi in Miami market where you can OO one unit and rent others, right.   

If you are being charge a flat rate, I'd bet sometimes she finishes early and others it takes her a bit longer.

While the deal does not hinge on the ground-up phase, it could provide a significant upside.After consulting with the City Zoning Department and reviewing the dimensional regulations of the neighborhood district, it appears that my plan is feasible.

Plenty of SFHs that are simple vacation homes for families getting out of the city and I would bet that will continue to be the case.

I bet the deal will still make good sense.
