It's one of the few routes besides Big Sur that you are directly on the Pacific Ocean and a big reason why there is a steady stream of tourists for luxury STR's. 

We needed a larger home for our family, that would be functional for multi-generational living with our kids and our parents.This is our forever home family compound, so we have no intention to sell and hope to continue improving and creating new streams of income from the property.How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

We purchased for $95K, we put about $50K into it, it's currently rented for $2500/monthHouse 2: We purchased for $95K, we put about $80K into it, it's currently rented for $3500/monthCurrently working on finishing the rehabs for the remaining two houses.This is our forever home family compound, so we have no intention to sell and hope to continue improving and creating new streams of income from the property.

For one thing there  are no tax cert sales on the west coast save AZ.. but people streamed back to put their CC up to take the advanced course.. nothings changed since I went to my first one of these in the 80s..

Nobody really knows how low they'll go but I agree with predictions of 20-25%...and I wonder what Agents are doing to make up that delta in their revenue.We diversified well in advance knowing we needed to create additional streams of income, ideally by simply focusing on what we control, the size of our roster, and more effectively monetizing all of our current transactions. 

While I appreciate your advice, I may be better suited to follow it once I have a more consistent revenue stream and better connections.Thanks!
