That’s the best bet.

Just call up an agent and ask them if they are the best in their market , odds are the first call you make will be the one .

An experienced broker with lots of choices at the palm of their hand is probably the best bet.

I’m not a betting man.

That's the beautiful part, working with just 20-odd clients can be a shocking $ volume.

Well the bet I'm making here is that CapEx and repairs will be very low the first few years (honestly event he first decade), and once all the construction ends I will be able to increase my rent closer to market rent at $2k which will give me a better cushion.

This level of infrastructure typically exists only in cities with metro populations over 1M.SummaryThe odds of living in a city that meets all the requirements for financial freedom are low.

Airbnb gives you the best bet at getting both. 

While I am skeptical of the wholesaling profession's prospects for any but high net worth, large scale real estate operators, I could see the odd agent wholesaling a small handful of deals.

Quote from @Brandon Foster: Hello Ryan,STR is do able in the north county area but there are a lot of rules and regulations.The city of Oceanside right now will not allow anything STR unless it’s west of pacific coast hwy.This is changing a lot too so you need to be aware of that in your plans.Carlsbad is super strict too but there are some condos that are still available to do STR in.Medium term rentals are as safer bet but way less profitable.
