I'm not sure if its true.

Cute shops and a few slow paced casinos. 

If your not shopping you loan I feel you arent doing your job as an investor. 

Given that knowledge what is a fair rent increase and the true value of the park?

I'm a local real estate broker, investor, and manager (100+ rentals, mostly Airbnb/STR and multifamily).House hacking is a tried-and-true method and in Sacramento you can produce some meaningful income while enjoying the appreciation and tax benefits of owning real estate.

i understand a true duplex might be a lot more expensive, but i think it's at least worth continuing to research and keeping an eye on.and sticking to my original point, OOS can be tough. 

I think the biggest roadblock has been the lack of true testimonials of successful people in these programs.  

I'm not sure why that metric has held true but it still applies, the properties that perform well above that ratio are the owners that treat their STR like a business.

I’m based in Houston, TX, but I know how critical it is to find someone on the ground who’s a true investor ally, not just another agent.

What they are telling you is true.
