@Jared Cooper I recommend Barbara Habbeshaw of AZ Residential Management.

@Barbara Sheppard - this would not surprise me.

Hi all, I'm looking to invest in student housing for the first time, have done some decent research, and am looking in the vicinity of San Diego, Riverside, Irvine, and Claremont, possibly Santa Barbara.

@Barbara Wilson-Scranton Meet people face to face..this will probably be the best route.

@Ari Dehbone here are the areas in SoCal that allow for Non-Owner Occupied short-term rentals (NOO STRs for short):Palm Springs: 36 total stays/yrFullerton (near Disney Land)Laguna Beach (non-residential zones)Huntington Beach (Sunset Beach area as long as you apply before 3/1/22)Santa Barbara: Inland (NOO in commercial zones and STR-Coastal Zone Historic Overlay Zone), Coastal (NOO unregulated, but court ruling allows for it)Joshua TreeMalibuBig Bear Lake (92315 zip code)Newport Beach (R-1.5, R-2 or RM Zones)You'll have to do your research on specific properties for cap rates and cash flow, but these are the areas I would look in.

Below are some CA markets that allow for non-owner occupied STRs:- Monterey- Palm Springs- Fullerton (near Disney Land)- Sonoma County- Huntington Beach- Santa Barbara- Joshua Tree- Malibu- Big Bear Lake- Newport BeachGranted, you'll have to do research on Rabbu and Airdna to find the best spots for cash flow, but they certainly exist.

My fiance and I are starting our first direct mail campaign in Santa Barbara, CA to hopefully land our first off-market live-in rental.
