I always wonder because the more people say an area is great to invest in, it seems it will drive up supply of houses.

Many hosts think CSAT (customer satisfaction) is a one-time event to drive 5 star reviews.

If you build a 200 unit location of 10/15/20 drive up access it will be worth $1mm day one above your cost.  

I only invest in regional drive to markets that are tried and tested true vacation markets.

I am fine with a short drive on dirt but not for too long a stretch. :-) If there are any sites you recommend to do more research I'd really appreciate if you could share that.I am also thinking I might need to check with San Bernardino about zoning though I was told that they can sometimes be a bit more lenient than other parts of CA?

Visit your family, drive around, get a feel for the area and you'll know. 

If you decide to invest out of state do a LOT of research to substantiate your decision compared to what you can find either locally or within a few hours drive of where you are.

Housing shortage - which in some part is driving the valuations higher in the order of millions of homes short of demand in the country.So, in short, the deck is really stacked against you at the moment.  

Official paperwork should be prepared with a real estate lawyer, and financial examination should take into consideration interest revenue, tax consequences, and market circumstances.

All the locals complain that everyone is moving here from CA and driving up property values.
