Only an hour away, but that can be remote too.We wanted a lake house we could also use occasionally. 

I do fix & flips and occasional wholesale some properties. 

Occasional domestic disturbance at the building but not the hardcore crimes so is fine for a C building.I would have to know the area you are looking at for the building and the cap rate to tell you if it is a good price or not for the area.

On a personal level, I invest my retirement money in stock and bond index funds and the occasional loan to other businesses.Putting money into a note fund should be as passive as investing in a stock or bond index bond, which I do with some of my retirement money.

Hello Omid,Consider exploring the Hollister real estate market; it occasionally offers properties in your price range, with a robust rental market.

Have to reseal it occasionally but I just do it every turnover

I've been occasionally tempted to branch into MTR or STR for improved cashflows, but seems to be a bit more trouble at the moment to execute.

Good point Darren, I have seen that occasionally as well on MLS.

Here are some rough numbers we're seeing.Studio apartment $3000One bedroom $3200-3500Two bedroom $3500-4000Three bedroom $4500-5500Expenses are similar to STRs: utilities, consumable supplies, occasionally replacing broken or worn down household items and furniture, insurance, and the usual for any property such as maintenance, CAPEX, and taxes.
