It's one of the hottest markets in the US right now with so much population growth, job growth, and companies moving/developing here (26B Intel headquarters being built here, 68K+ enrollment in Ohio State University, Amazon, FB, Google, Honda, Nationwide, Anduril, etc.).

That’s less about the numbers and more about developing a niche and understanding your product.

To rent the home, I would lose about $2,500 per month (based on comparable rents in my area, property management fees, etc).Both options loose the same amount by roughly 2 years, and by this time, I still will not have built up much more equity in the home to make selling it a break even unless there is price appreciation by then.My dilemma is this: I speculate that my home will not appreciate much in the next 3-5 years due to the rapid pace of development in the surrounding area.In 5-10+ years, maybe, but by then I'll have bled $150,000 - $300,000.I have thought about this a lot and feel that I mar'-too close to the problem to see the best solution.

You spend so much money before you make a dime of booking revenue.

those that dont know CA have no clue how much development is there and there is no way its going to crash like a detroit or something.  

With careful planning, you can develop a portfolio that consistently outpaces inflation and helps secure your financial future.I hope this helps.

You develop relationships with a handle of people that are creating notes and you help them recapitalize, it is like a conveyor belt of deals coming to you.  

If one tenant stops paying, there goes 25% of your revenue.
