I'm new to this site and am enjoying all of the information provided!  

The San Diego city council recently voted to limit short term vacation rentals to primary residences only (http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/touri...). 

Enjoy!

While there, I really enjoyed my overall experience in the city and surrounding area.

You may lose a deal or "miss out" on a specific deal but there are hundreds of deals just like that one you "missed".Relax, enjoy the ride, and start focusing on what you want out of real estate then take the steps to achieve that.

After she was served her 24 hours to vacate, she took a $200 microwave, left the unit extremely dirty, damage the carpet with paint (on purpose)....long story short, her deposit was only $1000 and damages and stolen property came out to about $1500.

The safe play for me is probably to just buy an Investment property in Buffalo (I already have a good relationship with a PM here who would be a great resource for me), but for some reason my heart is in Ellicottville - the idea of being able to use a property as a vacation getaway for a week or two a year and then rent it out the remainder of the year sounds super appealing.

To me, life has always been about doing something that I truly enjoy, while trying to set myself up for long term financial freedom by creating multiple sources of passive income.

This job has much more potential for income growth, and on top of that I believe I will enjoy the work more than my current position!
