Prior to viewing with clients, I am usually have an idea of the general area, vacany rates, market rents, and property types that suitable for LTR.

I have a STR in Truckee that has done very well and I am looking for another STR, was thinking of the Sacramento market but I hear conflicting info on the permit process and the ability to rent it out for more than 90 days a year as a STR.

Here are some of the more longstanding discussions that may help to answer your questions.Specifically at Rent To Retirement, we operate a turnkey marketplace that focuses about 90% on A class, new construction properties located in growth markets.

Many of these lenders allowing 2nds behind them are more expensive capital (10's - 13's in our current market [high rates - but now showing signs of coming down]).

It took more than a decade but I am excited (and terrified) to re-enter the fray.After dipping my toes into the market, I have battled against my paralysis and taken the leap.
