There doesn’t seem to be a lot of great deals where I am since land has increased in value so much in the last few years.

Planted 5,000 seedlings at our last property.  

So I actually did start a review w/ BBB, and that's what kicked off the the last round of communications/promise the refund was coming last week, but now haven't heard anything since another no-update-update on Friday.

Better to keep rent 5-10% below market, but keep a tenant long-term.If you can handle all this, you MIGHT be ready to be a real estate mogul.Otherwise, you may want to get out of your own way and hire a PMC to manage your property better.Let us know how this goes before you continue dreaming about anything else:)

A young population plus a growing industry makes for good long term investments, but unless you are really scaling the cashflow can be hit or miss. 

This is the third time in the last few years that this has been presented to CA voters.  

I'd go on ABnB and see what your competition is doing that you can copy.Maybe a Firepit out front (as long as it's not a fire hazard), maybe a cornhole set?

This way they can't claim they have been in the house long enough to be domiciled - this is for squatters. 

The only information I had to go on was with the last Lender informed me so maybe it was specific to the company they were with.

Tyler,Within my 20 years of experience as a landlord, if I had $150k and good credit, I’d focus on either flips for fast capital or rentals for long-term cash flow—trying both at once can slow you down.
