We have located a good parcel of land at a fair price, only issue is it's currently zoned for residential and we are planning to develop a small, 8-unit apartment on it.

Most of the new construction is stick-built contemporary with cheap brown or black Masonite. 

Even though no prepayment is possible, we are quoting a lot of 1, 2, or 3 year prepayments. 

.: With the laws that the CA legislation has passed, you could piss off a city inspector and there is nothing they can do about a safe unpermitted unit.Possibly/probably....but I think the point we are all making is - why take chances on losing time and money and stressing yourself out?

However, as must as we strive for a hotel like experience we are not a hotel and we make that clear in listing and our welcome letter. 

We do some pretty conservative numbers (probably because we are new) so if the numbers work, we will pursue it.

My vacation market we are around $800 per night so the clientele is more family oriented and tend to spend most days in national parks or out adventuring.

i provide dishwasher if we are putting a new kitchen. also a garbage disposal.sometimes i provide washers/dryers if i have extra laying around (i always seem to have them).sometimes i have purchased fridges and ovens since it's best to invest in capital expense and get a tenant than to have a house sit empty forever.our lease also states that tenants should purchase the appliance plan, which noone really does purchase. 

Although we’re not a local bank or credit union, we are independent mortgage brokers with experience in financing options that consider rental income rather than personal income. 

Here how it works:Day 1: warm welcome by motivated staff, coffee, snacks, we already feel we are millionaire.
