CA is hard all the way around with real estate, but if you're willing to jump through the hoops, San Diego is a good place to have a STR in a CA city.

If one of you actively manages the property, pursuing Real Estate Professional Status (REPS) could unlock full deductions against W-2 income.

Always underwrite conservatively Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I always check probate courts for estate filings and possible Conservatorship of a senior.Another possibility is that ownership has already changed and title held by entity, just waiting to take next step to rehab, demo, assemble other ownership, etc.

The 80/20 rule applies to most things in life but in Portland real estate it’s more like the 90/10 rule...10% of the agents do 90% of the work.

Local real estate agents are saying open it up still as the opening seems too small and makes the space feel cramped. 

Stop making Ira contributions as you’ve learned real estate is a better investment.

I'm almost positive I've seen Memphis real estate agents post on the forums.

I highly recommend the book real estate by the numbers.

As a result, while the US market is stuck in the lock-in effect, the Canadian market is kinda booming so it makes more sense for Americans to consider Canada nowadays, except for the fact that Canada has on average one of the if not the most unaffordable real estate in the world.Hope this helps.
