The weekly rentals were $8,000 (June) & $8,500 (July-August) As the summer season rental is approaching us, we are faced with a tough decision.

In Oceanside, New non-hosted STRs are prohibited outside of the Coastal Zone as of February 10, 2024.Most HOA's do not allow rentals less than 30 days so that is likely not an option unless you find a couple of places on the water that allow it but usually tough to find below $1M. 

After years and years of being frustrated by how tough it is to find honest, communicative contractors, I decided to start a Handyman/contracting business.This is NOT a solicitation.My question is – What are Property Managers / STR Owners / Investors looking for when they need a handyman and how are they finding them?

I'm debating sponsoring other areas to hang my material up.What ways do you like to promote your business?

Quote from @Account Closed: I would say.. can you save the tub and re-glaze and redo the tile on the wall can save you $1,000 or more just on materials and labor..

I don't deny that it's tough if you don't have family or contacts of your own, but with enough time and patience, I think it should be possible to develop contacts. 

Keep in mind that this is also a very tough time to be entering the market as an agent because the inventory is so low.  

there are several posts on here about capital calls. without more information it is tough to respond but typically a capital call is because the offering is having issues with cash flow - whether it is because a loan is becoming due or some other reason - that is the primary reason - needing an influx of cash. can you provide more details?

This has probably been the one thing that has helped me scale my portfolio so much and so quickly within the past 6 years.So the things that I would bring to the table that a new investor wouldn’t have access to (at least at the beginning until they build their own systems and networks) would be my knowledge and streamlining of getting financing, having deal flow, using vetted and skilled subcontractors, discounted prices on materials, systems in place to find tenant buyers, and streamlined refinancing and management in placeIt is similar to turnkey, only you don’t have to put 25% down and you walk into equity and the exit is already planed and the tenant buyer gets connected with a lender upfront to help them get ready to exercise in the option within 3 years.So that is what makes this different than other models.

Borrowing from family for a smaller purchase isn't the worst thing.Cash flow has been tough as of late with the higher interest rates.
