James, Are you stuck in Lodi again or just headed back to San Francisco with flowers in your hair?

So my suggestion is build as much funds as you can other wise you will be pulling your hair out trying to get deals started. best of luck

a family member of mine has an Airbnb property. they had their house cleaner come in after their last guest had left. a few days later, before the next guest came in the cleaner returned to the house because he thought he had left something behind. when he went inside he found that someone had been staying there. the bed had been used, there was beer in the fridge, dog hair on the couch. this got me thinking about how easy it is for someone to log on to Airbnb and look at a particular property to see if there is availability that day, then you could just walk up to the house, knowing it is vacant and try all the windows and doors to see if the last guest left anything unlocked. this seems like a pretty clever idea for a vagrant looking for a place to crash. has anybody ever had this happen to them?

- But I’m excited and laser focused like I’ve not been in a while!  

You can post the listing there and it is a LASER targeted community with the capability to easily share your post. 

Oh, and those of us who won't look you in the eye, that physical energy feels like lasers.

Find your direction first and then focus on what you want like a laser beam.

The people I know who have a lot of success in REI, have laser focus on one, maybe two niches or strategies.

before splitting hairs on depreciation and tax benefits decide what your skills and your "why".and, unlike me, weigh downside risk as likely. things go wrong all the time. any wisdom I have now comes from big mistakes.That said, a group of mobile home parks in the same area makes sense.

You should be laser focused in order to achieve success though, and trying to do too many things can hinder you.
