I've engaged with some of these already but didn't know about others.

The city now spends $296 per person on parks, contributing to an 18% increase in job growth from 2011 to 2021.Other cities have followed suit.

You should engage an architect or surveyor/civil engineer for something like this.

Maybe you are better off renting for now while focusing on increasing earnings, saving, and developing a plan.

There's no good "ballpark" figure, you have to know the amount of stays, cleaning fees, some add in pet fees and other things that can increase revenue.

I think that it's so they can increase their fees charged to guests. 

Go where your income to cost of living is the greatest ratio, hands down.A good portion of my borrowers buy out of state and use property management to deal with the properties.If your in college you've gotta increase your ACTIVE income, before you get passive income.

I own a rental in Ohio and would like to increase my investment (purchase another one or maybe two). 

Lease renewals have a strict deadline. if you miss the deadline and fail to request a rent increase, then you will need to wait until the following year. 

That means increasingly better cash flow.I expect Detroit prices to 2x in the next 5+ years given what's happening there and the current trajectory.That said, again, if you believe investing in CA will match your goals it's a great, time tested market.
