We've also been told not to look S of Gate 1 since we'll be initially living in the property.Looking to do a min 4+2 SFH ranch buy & hold that we (family w/ 1 toddler and 1 elder big dog) need to owner occupy and rent 2 rooms out for about a year before turning it into a STR/military crash pad or LTR.

Run your numbers, factor some vacancy rate (time the unit is unoccupied), maintenance repairs, expenses (maybe even pad this number with how quickly inflation is going up), plan for some improvements, and we always factor some management fee in even if we are self-managing.

Don't know that I would volunteer paving/concrete pads, but if he required it, that would still work.

I pay more attention to the pad (spend the $ to upgrade to an 8lb pad with some stain/odor fighting abilities).

Southern California home sales hit the brakes in June, falling to the lowest reading for the month in four years.

Sorry 20 pads rented, space for about 8 more with a duplex on site.

So my question is I am planning to rip out the worn/stained carpet and lay down a pad and nice wood look vinyl floor!

The brakes are being applied to this economy, and we are in a deer in the headlights moment.

6 acres seems to me to be a couple of city blocks (in many areas).Maybe room for 2 churches, or a small hospital, or a big truck stop, (all zoning issues probably).A big strip mall with pads and major anchor tenants?

But 20-25% padding is reasonable.
