My average stay is 3-5 years.  

And don't expect the compliant tenants that complained to stay after you minimized their concern and did not address it.

It's pretty sad, but good luck staying silent on the sidelines until my next post which has no other purpose than to help new investors.

So just stay out of certain states and you'll be fine.

I'd love to stay in touch with you!

@Anthony DiSanzowhy not stay within driving distance to be hands-on? 

And Chula Vista or Escondido are great areas for first-timers who want to stay near SD but reduce entry costs.Network at local meetups like “Beers and Deals” - The connections you’ll make there can open up off-market opportunities.Where did you end up starting starting - SD, or did you end up in nearby markets to get your first win?

and likely to stay far longer than the tenants who are more transient.

Stay away from the condos as they are going to continue to have higher HOA's and insurances going forward in Florida.

They love having the short-term rental properties since that gives them a spot to stay while they're in town!
