We need to face and embrace that rejection that is inevitable when taking the action steps of real estate investing.we are vulnerable in the process but we are enough to make it a success

If you can relate reward with difficulty, then you'll WANT the complexity and difficulty of more units.Read a book called the Obstacle Is The Way, or watch a video on YouTube called Embrace the Difficult by Tai Lopez..Just trying to give a different point of view so you don't say no because of the difficulty of the deal..Either way, best of luck to you

Another great vacation rental option in SoCal would be Big Bear ... lower price points and much less regulatory risk as the whole economy is driven by tourism and vacation rentals.

Right now, the property is cash positive and in a historically strong market with multiple economic drivers (tourism, agriculture, university, action sports industry, silicon valley...).

I welcome all opinions as I am trying to embrace a more fair, non classicist approach to this business. 

It works to combine a great tourism product with great music.

Higher education, medicine, farming, ranching, rail, mining, tourism, oil & gas, financial center, tax free shopping for Wyoming residents ;), Billings has it all. 

If the economy is based off of tourism, vacation rentals are the norm, and there is not some huge player in the market that controls the city, owns hotels, and has an incentive to outlaw mom-and-pop vacation rentals (like, say, Anaheim), then your regulatory risk is minimized (but not eliminated entirely).

Once they become routine and you embrace book keeping as a necessary part of investing you will be farther ahead.

Why can't the process be streamlined & more inviting & embracing for consumers to feel GOOD about taking that step to homeownership or building wealth?
