Last point.

Last night, I heard an inspiring story about a mom who brought her young kids along for a 45-minute drive to tour an investment property.

I’ve listed on FF and had a request for long term stay cutting into summer season and I comped it based on last summers revenue and declined.

Yes, I attended the 3-day event last week in New York.

A duplex or SFH purchased around that time would likely have appreciated by 5-10%, depending on the neighborhood, and rents in Oceanside and Carlsbad have continued to rise steadily, offering a solid ROI.One client I worked with last year ran into similar frustrations with bidding wars.

I've heard podcasts with them bragging about all the money they made in the last 6 months buying apartments.  

Face to face interactions is how you will build lasting relationships! 

Side note, and not what you're asking...I'd make sure you get a termite bond on the house.

@Spencer ManningYour other questions were answered except for last one.S8 vouchers are for a specific number of bedrooms and rent amounts.So, a S8 tenant must find a property with rent that does not exceed their voucher amount.This stops S8 tenants from renting Class A properties and most Class B.Currently, Fair Housing does NOT protect source of income, so unless a state or local government has passed a law stating otherwise, landlords do NOT have to accept S8 vouchers.

My focus, over the last 28 years, has been on the Cleveland market because thats where I live.
