Focus on understanding the path of progress, identifying rental properties with the most potential, learning the seasonality trends, and figuring out which upgrades will really move the needle in that area.

If you are doing a low down payment strategy, have you identified any specific region in the Bay Area where the numbers work?

In addition to identifying and purchasing those properties I am currently focused on building out the management SOP's to facilitate smooth management of the 10-12 units owned by 3 different entities. 

For instance a zoning attorney or architect may be able to identify properties with favorable zoning or perhaps even change zoning  through a new zoning permit or a use change variance before the property is acquired.

For example, if you identify market rent for a unit as $3,000, I might be thinking of it has $2,600-$3,400.

Recently, I have shifted my focus towards identifying property flipping opportunities in smaller markets in the SE, and I am enthusiastic about the prospect of forging new professional relationships and connections.

The quick sale reinforced the importance of identifying low-risk opportunities and capitalizing on market conditions.

I did STR in a duplex starting back in 2017 and managed for others in North Conway, Ive since converted to all long term tenants and happy i did so... unless your property has something unique or a "rare" amenity.... like, sleeps 30, I honestly would not waste any energy on it in the north Conway area. so saturated, and so much big money being invested in the hotels, its tough to match amenities vs cost, and I see travelers trending back towards the hotel style accommodations. granted, for the right price, I'd buy anything and figure out what the best use for it is. use airdna.co for decent data on # of Short term rentals in any particular market. can also identify opportunities. the point of my response.... be careful in STR in any area and always have a plan B. you can change a lot of things about a property, but your cant change your basis!

looks like a reputable company to me.. website tics my box'xIE identify ownersidentify properties.mission statement.SF based.

The primary goal is to identify all property-related costs that can be depreciated over five, seven and 15 years.
