A lot of it has to do with location and time.If they are local owners looking at 1-2 LTR properties, I'll assist with identifying cash flowing/near cash flowing properties, assist them in the purchase as their buyers agent and assist with tenant procurement, listing, etc. but they can typically handle day to day management from there.Furnished properties, whether that be MTR or STR, are a lot more involved, as I'm sure you're aware of!

So you wouldn’t get any depreciation on your new purchase assuming you only spent the $450k.

I'm considering purchasing a condo or a small SFH in the Oceanside/Carlsbad area as an investment property and renting it out on a short term rental site like AirBNB. 

I also am very interested in purchasing more STRs, and this is a really low risk way to see if I'm up for it (we have a 2.9% interest rate on our mortgage).My biggest concern is an ongoing plumbing issue we have had.

If you're looking for more active strategies like purchasing your own real estate let me know and I'm happy to send updated recommendations based on what your situation is and what your goals are :)

It was recently purchased in December 2024, which aligns with the timing she mentioned on the phone.However, despite all the communication being professional, I’ve had trouble finding additional information about their business online.I’m wondering if I’m being overly cautious, but I want to make sure everything is legitimate and avoid any potential scams.
