I'm originally from San Francisco CA (started off as an out of state investor in 2021) and have no desire to become a landlord in CA. 

Things are going well with this property which has sparked this desire to seriously pursue Real Estate Investing as a full-time business!

If you want to live in one of the older neighborhoods (which are very desirable) that's just what you get in 100 year old buildings.

Sell and buy something different maybe in a more desirable area.4.

In my market, that is a desirable attribute to have it already up and running.

Any advise is appreciated This post is a couple of years old...how have you been doing with this cash cow.What a desirable lakefront (almost) location, it looks like a Deer Hunters paradise.

The desire to connect with others who share similar experiences is so important, and I commend you for seeking out that community.

Modern finishes, Washer and dryer and refrigerator.3bed/2bath minimum is preferred in the Texas Market.If you can add 2 car garage, that will make it more desirable and attach more buyers.All the best

I can see some families wanting to use the open loft space as additional entertainment room, or using it as study/office space. 1 shared bathroom upstairs would be shared by 4 bedrooms (instead of 3 currently) - is that somehow less desirable and/or not add a lot of equity? 

Only some pockets of the beach are continuing to grow or more desirable than the majority of the market.
