I had one str for one month.. then sold it to someone fully furnished and they are carrying on.. not our cup of tea.. we find fully furnished long term rentals to be our cup of tea premium rents PREMIUM tenant quality and returns that we are happy with. 

I’m a card carrying republican/libertarian so obviously the political landscape of California isn’t my cup of tea.

Smaller market but if cash flow is your bag, I'd look at Lawton, OK.

But hard not to see mass layoffs in the next 6 months causing a recession.Obviously, doesn't mean that'll affect RE prices unless many tenants default and over-leveraged landlords (again) are left holding the bag.

I just talked recently to my sister-in-law with a similar issue you can't just add on anything about the trampoline to the least you can't do that legally she's a real estate attorney you can't legally add it on and technically a trampoline is not a toy it is a workout type of machinery it's almost like having a set of Weights outside or a punching bag if it's not specified already in the lease before you gave it to him legally there's nothing you can do and it would be extremely illegal to just add it in after they were already there and sign the lease you can't add into the next lease it's not how it works now if you had a apartment complex that would be different but if you're renting a home would they put in their backyard is none of your business they're renting your the home from you you can't control somebody's yard you can say yes you need to keep it clean but you can't tell them they can't have a trampoline or a swing set or any of the above in their backyard if they're running a home from you by law.

The first thing I needed obviously were the needed amenities plates and so on, so I already had that in the bag.

Does providing complementally k-cups/teas, popcorn, spices, toiletry essentials (toothbrushes, floss, bath wash, shampoo, conditioner, soap, paper products, makeup remover, laundry detergent, firewood with firestarters for the fireplace and firepit constitute as substantial services?

While I’m not a fan of bagging on poor people, how is that “racially biased” ?

But they can "sand-bag" his 4yrs to nerf any positivity so that's exactly what will happen, head my words.

It seems like a mixed bag, ultimately I need to confirm the income in some way just to know what I am going into.
