I know I could prob lock up deals myself but as a new parent who works as a full time teacher and I also play live music on the side to help my wife stay home w baby - it's kinda the best I could do for an area thats about 60 miles away etc. it would be tough for me to drive out there myself etc. any advice?

From Time Magazine:  "All that horsepower could be put in the service of emulating whatever it is our brains are doing when they create consciousness — not just doing arithmetic very quickly or composing piano music but also driving cars, writing books, making ethical decisions, appreciating fancy paintings, making witty observations at cocktail parties.If you can swallow that idea, and Kurzweil and a lot of other very smart people can, then all bets are off.

My background is in music, where you're only as good as the people you work with.

In addition to being the political seat of the state, it is a major cultural and music hub – it’s also knows as “The Live Music Capital of the World” and hosts the annual SXSW (South by Southwest music festival) – one of the largest music festivals in the U.S. – which brought over $220 M into the city in 2013,[1] and has an economic impact that far exceeds the festival’s 14 day length.

I own a primary residence in San Diego, CA....Also a vacation rental house in the Palm Desert area (specifically Indio) right across from the infamous Coachella music festival.I just sold one of my businesses and my main goal at the moment is to buy another property, in a perfect world I would like another vacation rental and also a commercial property but since it would be challenging to qualify for both at relatively the same time.

As for our vacation rental out in Indio (think Coachella Music Festival) it is much more geared towards large groups so we have many amenities.

Another thought would be the northern tip of orange would probably be a great place to have one as you have a ton of great things going for you that would maintain year round occupancy such as disneyland, anaheim convention center(perfect str draw), Angel stadium( which also hosts things like motocross and the sort which people like having more room if they are from out of town), the grove(a music venue), The block(a large outdoor mall and attraction center),and The honda center(hockey/basketball center which has hosted a lot of college tournaments and has year round large scale concerts and events).  

And we now just play musical chairs with the debt to keep effective interest rate under 3%.  

I listen to music and, yes because I am a Christian, I read God's Word and that usually gets me out of my self-pity or worry or even depression.
