Correct me if I'm wrong but VRBO is very clunky and not very host friendly.

I remember a friend of mine a few years back who tried something similar in the outskirts of San Antonio.

More frequently these tax sales are overturned on the grounds of failed or improper notice procedures.

In my circle of family and friends, I will say that anyone that owns RE especially in CA has over at least several million in networth and they weren't high W2 earners (no surgeons or attorneys, but librarians, accountants, etc) but this takes years 15 to 30+ years..

Hey friends, I'm an agent in Daytona Beach and I locking in my first short term rental listing.

It’s great to hear that you’re exploring real estate opportunities in Jacksonville, especially with your focus on Class B properties and military-friendly options.

Yesterday, I applied for a loan through a couple program approved lenders and an investment friendly lender recommended by bigger pockets.

Quote from @Sean O'Keefe: Quote from @Tom Gorrell: We have 3 rentals in CA and one in Kentucky (total value about 2.5 M)some W2 incomesome pension incomesome syndication income and some from a business (s corp) Based on what you say, it feels like $3k - $4k but would need more info on how frequently you meet with CPA outside of Jan - Apr when you are filing and if this includes tax strategy. 

Board games can be worth it, but I'd keep it minimal - maybe 2-3 family-friendly classics.

First advice is always go to friends and family with this deal and try to come up with the cash to buy outright.
