I plan on building a duplex (so 2 kitchens and 2 living rooms). 

Just to give an idea, we are looking to build 42 units around 600sft 1+ bed room units and 2 commercial place, total sqft is coming around 42k.

>Someone just starting out who needs cash flow should not immediately dive into coastal markets.I agree if they do not want an active investment position (value adds, rehabs, self managing alternate rent models such as STR, MTR, rent by room)>Cash flow is a more reliable source of gain and it's better elsewhere.I disagree with both comments.  

for individual room rentals  I don't think work from home is big and for multiple room rentals I might try to avoid it but gamers loved having a desk too and decent internet speed.

Year round tourist demand in Tahoe creates lots of opportunity for the guest rooms. 

I live in North Myrtle Beach, have a large STR rental house in the Cherry Grove section of the beach, and frequent Myrtle Beach proper often for dining and shopping.  

Hot tub implies a spa with really hot water, more room, jets, etc.

You will do better door knocking when you feel comfortable, and when you feel comfortable the people in front of you will feel more comfortable and they can tell (but we should also not feel like you are dressing for your living room either), and so dress how you would want to dress, in a way that is clean, professional, but more casual in clothes that fit well and are not uncomfortable to tight or too big--  otherwise you will feel it as soon as you knock on the door.  

Yes, not much room for increase 

Quite frankly I can’t be parting with a few hundred grand to make a few bucks a month any advice?
