Quote from @Eddie Ray: Im currently looking for a RE tax professional/preparer in San Diego, CA.

Any tips on balancing renovation costs with tenant expectations when preparing a property for midterm stays?

It seems like everyone is preparing for a big boost.The current growth rate seems feverish but I've seen a lot of houses going up to prepare for the influx of population.If you have any questions, I'm available to answer them.

I've lost friends and family to substance abuse so it seemed like an opportunity to do some good and make money in the process.I negotiated a sweet deal, and was prepared to buy it myself, but a few of my clients expressed interest and I ended up helping two of them form a partnership.

Quote from @Andrew Betts: Hi Michael - We own and manage homes in Solara, I can recommend it for a strong ROI, and there is full access to the clubhouse, and better quality food and drinks there, than at other resorts. 

I find that it's almost a one stop shop in that I can use it for my business checking and savings accounts, bookkeeping, for rent collection, I can issue virtual credit card, I can create all the financial reports I need to run my real estate business and prepare for tax filing and through their partners I can vet my tenants, develop state-specific leases and more.

It sounds like you've done a lot of the preparation work required to hit the ground running. 

For example, are there specific documents or information I should prepare, or would identifying a target property first be more beneficial?

Food For thought. 

Some people are sending supplies (clothes, other needed items like school supplies, food for humans and pets, etc).
