Arguments are now like “kill ‘em on the beach, why let them reach the water”Reports of major, multi-million, billion?

@Carlos Bernardez what are your thoughts on Salvador beach real estate?

A few days ago I finally listed my first rental property on Airbnb as a MTR (due to Long Beach regulations regarding ADUs).

I think there are places in California where the mountains and the beach are close to each other so you could have a primary home, and 2 second homes one on the beach and one in the mountains. 

I am considering a 1 bed/1bath beach condo for STR.

@Ivan AldanaI have LTRs in a metro area, an STR in rural hiking/rock climbing area and an STR in a beach area next to a large metro area.

Do you want to sit on the beach with cash flow, or do you want to build equity?

Walkable distance to Walled Lake Beach and Michigan Air-line trail.

We are considering a STR option for this property for the summer months due to its proximity to the beach.

. - Install two new high efficiency condensing boilers, and update windows and insulation for better heat loss performance.PROS - a) minimally invasive; b) can provide 15-30% reduction in heating costs (we are told).CONS - a)total gas expense is still paid by the landlord; b) individual units won't have individual control (except for a thermostat controlled shutoff valve for heat/water in each unit); c) AC would be available on with in wall/window units. 2) Try to individually meter each units' gas and provide each with a traditional forced air heating/cooling system.PROS: a)gas expense could be completely removed for landlord (huge)- even tankless hot water could be installed in each unit; b) each unit would have their own climate control.CONS: a) constructions costs of running new gas lines and soffiting sheet metal duct work. b) highly invasive with collateral construction costs; c) future costs of maintenance on multiple systems vs a single building-wide system. 3) An electric based heating system- This is tricky in my mind because of the high cost of electric heat.
