So I just wanted a list to recommend and have on hand.

Are they getting published in lists from travel blogs?

You must reinvest the $520k in “cash” you have left after paying off mortgage and $80k in closing costs or you will owe taxes on cash retained even if you buy more than $920k in property  You can invest in any number of properties but it’s much easier if you list 3 or less replacement properties.

These buildings are VERY old and require a lot of maintenance/capex.You can find great deals in all of the listed areas.

As you mention 95757, Elk Grove I ran an example of a home for sale at 9850 Tarzo Way Elk Grove 95757 which recently had a price reduction and is now listed at $559,950.

I would also pull a list of VA loans in the area that you are interested in buying to see what is out there. 

We have a client that needs SRO which looks like it didn't make it into your loans this year, but would love to add any new info to my list!

Make a list of all assets and their components (how many roofs, refrigerators, heating systems, etc?)

This would be a flip, but if push came to shove, refinance and attempt to list on market during peak sale season in my area.

So instead of Airbnb'ing the entire house, I just list each rooms.
