Their company is pretty great at not responding to their communities people , not following local law yet alone their own lease agreements The uptick of lot rents I get it it’s business but also driving out affordability for people which again it’s a business so some may say that part is just the territory , but not following lease agreements , hiring poor management and then doing nothing about it when it’s escalated is a reflection on their business aswell   best of luck. 

I haven't done any deals yet, I've just started searching for a cash-flowing 2-4plex in the last couple months but I'm still about 6 months from being able to afford a 20% down payment with no cash reserves left for maintenance.Aquaculture is an interesting suggestion!

Tenants simply can’t afford this big bills and move out when lease is over or in February when they can’t pay the electric bill.

It's a super affordable real estate market where you can still find deals that hit the 1% rule anywhere from $120-180k for a single family (or $200-250k for a multifamily) purchase price.

These markets offer affordable homes, many of which are turnkey (new builds or fully rehabbed), with properties that have 10+ years of life left and are ready for tenants.

But if I'm going somewhere with my wife for any length of time, I like the space afforded us by a vacation rental, the kitchen for cooking, a living room for spreading out.

Am so TIRED of trying to explain this to naive newbies who think they need to buy Class D rentals because that's all they can afford and S8 is going to solve all their cashflow problems!

Quote from @Michael Beirne: Hi everyone,Some business partners of mine are looking into BRRRRing in the Baltimore market and are looking to find a GC, agent, property manager and an attorney that could help us affordably close on properties.  

A home equity loan seems like a possible way to expand my portfolio, would consider buying a multifamily and renting out our current home to live in one of the units and purchase it as a primary home (assuming its 4 units or less), but being in the Santa Cruz CA area, I am afraid I'll need to look outside of CA for any deal that makes sense, and can't afford to lose my great job (can't work remotely).
