Another one 1 is midway through a 203k rehab project on a 4plex that will turn into a BRRRR. 3rd is in the process of looking for a househack but after much deliberation realized that lifestyle is better than cashflow and wants to be outside of Worcester.

Covid has me reimagining a lot of things and I wonder if anyone has any knowledge to share regarding building a Cohousing or conscious community in San Diego.

Although this is a sellers market for the owner-occupier space with crazy offers being made above asking price by people who buy on emotion rather than numbers, landlord burnout is at an all-time high due to government imposing its will and saying investors need to pay for the "won't work for money and won't pay for housing" lifestyle. 

You need to perform a financial and lifestyle/emotional analysis.

The Gulfcoast and SoFL are not synonymous with an inexpensive lifestyle, even in a state void of income tax.  

It really depends on the age of your clientele and how trend conscious they are. 

I've used Property Managers in the past and I will use them again because I understand the value they bring and it will better fit my lifestyle.

For some, in any industry, we do go into it wanting to make money, for the commission, for the life style etc and as you get out of "survival" mode and start achieving success, you start realizing that you actually make more money when "you do the right thing for people" Doing the right thing (having people's best interest, having their back, giving them options, walking them through the path and educating them on what are the pros and cons to individual investment and advising them) will yield more money in the form of : Referrals, connections, good reputation, a good track record, and yes bc of it, more commissions. 

I have a background in FP&A and I'd like to leverage that as well as my interest in real estate (and some savings) into some investments and potentially a career/lifestyle longer term.

My wife and I are looking to step into the life changing life style of buying our first rental house.
