im in Orange County CA and there is a huge market here for room by room rentals here. i've been doing this for quite some time (over a decade now), and it certainly has its pro's and cons. my advice if you go about this is make sure you do proper vetting before moving someone in... not only for financials/ credit-worthiness, but also for temperament and expectations in a co-living space. we ask a lot of questions like "how do you handle conflict?"

Every time that happens someone needs to be there unless you have a system in place to manage access from afar.

It was just brought to my attention this morning that the marketing email didn't specifically outline a final date to register with the exclusive early access discount.

If you have multiple properties i would recomend having at least 5-10k per door in cash, or in easily accessible funds at least.What are your thoughts?

A bridge loan could work, as you mentioned, allowing you to access immediate capital to pay off the equity agreement and then refinance later once you have more equity in the property.

Quote from @Melissa Sejour: I am new to the real estate investing space and was wondering how do you go about researching the best areas to purchase properties?

•Homes that accommodate more guests (more beds, larger spaces) tend to perform better, but they may also experience slow seasons.
