I'm also a big fan of gardening.

The issues I ran into was the local market was already flooded with STR's and in order to be profitable you had to stand out with a home that was either near an attraction (ie great view, Garden of the Gods, Downtown, or a College) or the unit had to have amenities (Hot tub, Instagram Wall, Pickle Ball Court) that would place your listing far and above other similar listings.I think you should strongly consider if you more interested in moving away and starting a life somewhere else, or in creating a cash flowing investment to supplement your income? 

That's what I'm telling myself at least...syndicating value-add garden style apartments here in NJ. 

If you have a multi-family property, then you have to figure out how to make the tenants share the responsibility or you hire someone to handle it for them.You have to consider insulation, maintenance of weather stripping on doors and windows, servicing the boiler/furnace, winterizing sprinkler systems, disconnecting garden hoses from hose bibs, and much more.It's very risky to manage rentals from a distance.

I'm particularly passionate about New Brunswick and Ontario.Outside of real estate, I enjoy gardening, hiking, cooking, and travling.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

In my expensive market I've seen folks get creative by renting gardening space, Ie raised beds,some tools.

Half Moon Bay is a good area - which includes Moss Beach, El Granada  - it pulls from the Bay Area population and out of town people.   

My preference is garden style.What sort of business plan are you looking at? 

I finally spoke with my friend and asked for permission to post this because she deserves some sort of say. she is terrified for her life considering Marcus got his associate to threaten her life. shes an older lady who was just looking for a home to enjoy the rest of her life in to do her bit of gardening.

We also are connected with TripShock (we get commissions if people book Disney/Busch Gardens etc tix).
