Plus there are plenty of syndicated deals that tank and tank spectacularly..

@Sean McDonnellI have one property like this right now and it's been spectacular.

@J Scott I have heard from many here that your book is spectacular.

I have been speaking with short-term furnished rental owners who rent to workers or other travelers, and operate near national parks like Yosemite, in urban areas like Oakland and San Francisco, the desert and coastal communities like Palm Springs and Venice Beach..THE COMMON THREAD IS THAT THEY TEND TO PULL IN 2-3 TIMES THE GROSS RENTS OF AN UNFURNISHED LONG-TERM RENTALI WOULD LIKE TO BRING TOGETHER AND HEAR FROM THE SHORT TERM RENTAL BP COMMUNITY ABOUT THEIR IDEAS, WHAT THEY ARE DOING/OPERATING, WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BUYING OR OPERATING, AND ANY AND ALL DISCUSSIONS ABOUT SHORT TERM RENTALS.From vacation rentals w/ bikes and toys, to super-high-end corporate rentals for tech employees in Silicon Valley, to families near the lake, medical students or workers on rotation, and oil field workers who need a home away from home...THERE IS A NEED FOR ALTERNATIVE FORMS OF HOUSING FOR NICHE TYPES OF WORKERS AND TRAVELERS ALL OVER THE US AND THE WORLD.I have seen apartments, hippie trailers, house boats, towering castles, spectacular lofts, tiny homes, dirty couches, teepees, yurts, and impeccable $2MM+ homes and estates.

Norcross, and some cities within the county are overflowing with M/F, and the majority of them are not that spectacular.  

BC is indeed spectacular, no matter which corner of the province you find yourself in!  

If you ignore this, ignorance can be bliss for a while because the numbers can look spectacular but it will come back to bite you.

. :-)) They buy where they want to live that have the qualities they value and fit in with their lifestyle...and where they can afford.I do enjoy the climate and the coastline in California so I'm resigned to paying "The Sunshine Tax".

The PCH is the most spectacular drive in the world, though!

Desirable areas for development are limited to a relatively narrow strip down the coastline.
