I see you are over in Boca Raton I am over in Madeira Beach by Pinellas County. 

Quote from @V.G Jason: Honestly, I just got an ADU added to our home in Manhattan Beach.

The mirage of get into Real Estate Investing, make ton's of money, get passive, do nothing, sip cocktails on the beach and professionally vacation the rest of your days sounds great, unfortunately it's a mirage. 

Probably buy a lot of silver and dig a big hole.

So I'll be buying closest to the beach.

Vacation rentals are usually much nicer, are close proximity to attractions (beach, mountains, lake, theme park etc) and have nicer or more ammenities.

Perry SkollLong Beach, CA

Long Beach is so fringe oriented and prices are so high that it is pricing out the low income people out.

A few years ago one of the investors who had multiple properties in Manhatan Beach CA, then Phoenix AZ, who has been doing it for 30-40 years told me: " A property does not really cash flow till its paid off"Honestly, I am looking at my properties, and half of my properties cash flow anywhere from 800-1k, but the remaining dont cash flow at all..Honestly, I cant say that even those that do cash flow 800-1k per month do not really make a big impact because a tenant moves out, I have to clean/fix, etc.

We're looking at downtown homes with pools or homes near the beach.
