I want my occupancy (and revenue) to be maximized so, for me, it's very important to have something unique that the other places don't have so my condos will stay rented throughout the low season and in case of a downturn in tourism.

Quote from @Phil Matheney: I would love to know Dave's thoughts on our unique Real Estate program. 

Analyze deals, build your network, and educate yourself constantly.If you have access to unique resources (like a VA loan, FHA Loan, or 401K), use them to your advantage!

With platforms like Airbnb or Hipcamp, you can attract travelers looking for unique stays.

As an accredited investor you have access to hundreds of new potential syndications every month (and crowdfunding deals which are the same thing except are allowed to market on the Internet).You may want to start off on a site like CrowdStreet or FinResi , where you can view the variety ( different types of asset classes, strategies, stances) and start to come up with your own method for looking at deals (which matches your unique, personal  risk tolerance, financial situation and financial goals).Thanks Ian.

Right now I am in a unique situation and I have a concern.I want to buy a residential property.

I understand that everyone has unique goals, and responses will vary depending on those objectives.

Also if someone wants to do something custom/unique, they may not be able to with the passive investment.

Each market is different, and SF is very unique. 

SupplyLas Vegas is unique because it is a tiny island of privately owned land in an ocean of federal land.
