Would love feedback from anyone with personal investing and/or property management experience in these cities.

We've not met in person yet, but know each other.

It's not a personal sale between you and your son, but rather a sale from one LLC to another.

Also, long term, I expect Sac will enact tougher restrictions on STR, given the intense housing crunch we're experience, so I personally don't expect that to a be a good long term strategy.

I would start close to where you live personally. 

I personally don't mind cooking on electric but I will say that cooking on propane is different than what most people know which is natural gas.

The FMR for a 6 BR house is over $1,800....one person's trash is another person's treasure!

I financed this property using down payment funds from 403B and a local commercial bank. 15% down from personal funds. 85% down from community commercial bank. 3yr balloon, 20yr amortization, 7% interest rate.

If it's a consultation with him personally - it should be very valuable.

And then you can use that information to start to develop your own personal due diligence method: Crowdstreet.com, 1031 Crowdfunding, Akr7, Finresi etc.
