My colleague is looking at a much broader area in rural/semi-rural Idaho for retirement/vacation/"hobby farm" use.

It's a much broader discussion than A.I. but relates to the overall U.S. workforce.

I've tried the Dayton and Columbus forums with no luck, so I thought I would try a broader area.I'm looking to talk to any property managers in the St.

I operate out of Miami with a focus on Broward county and will be expanding into the broader tri-county region. 

It's a long-range play.I'm still bullish on rentals in college towns, but I'm shifting focus to get away from the college undergrad, and focusing on SFH that caters to a broader rental subset.

Would I be better off sending a generic postcard to a broader list of homeowners?

I think we are doing a disservice to new investors who, I believe, for the majority, are oblivious to the broader risks to their investments or potential investments.  

Gayle,The broader question should probably be how does one strategy or another fit into your long term plans (e.g. retirement, etc).There are estate planning folks that can sit down with you to go over that - for free - so let me know if you'd like a name.From my point of view you have great choices:- your home would be attractive to both purchasers or renters because it'd be more economical for them than being in Los Gatos proper.- you'd have a large pool of buyers for your pricepoint given the size of the home- your home has the good schools that folks with children want- your home has good infrastructure that comes with being in Redwood Estates (Comcast).

So pretty good argument that these conditions would stick under the principle of freedom of contract, regardless of whether the property code would generally lead to a different outcome unless this is deemed contrary to public policy for grown-ups to agree to this (doubt it but maybe tenants are selectively handled under the case law roughly like children in the sense that the average tenant may be deemed by the courts as essentially lacking the capacity to agree to modifications of the security deposit conditions that may disadvantage them).Also, "Abandonment" is a defined term:(3) "Abandonment" occurs when all of the following occur:(a) all occupants have vacated the Property, in Landlord's reasonable judgment;(b) Tenant is in breach of this lease by not timely paying rent; and(c) Landlord has delivered written notice to Tenant, by affixing it to the inside of the main entry door or if the Landlord is prevented from entering the Property by affixing it to the outside of the main entry door, stating that Landlord considers the Property abandoned, and Tenant fails to respond to the affixed notice by the time required in the notice, which will not be less than 2 days from the date the notice is affixed to the main entry door.But as is occasionally the case in this lease, terms are defined but then used in a de-capitalized manner earlier or before, which permits the legalistic argument that the de-capitalized use of the term is broader.

“Because of the other provisions included in the new tax system, far fewer taxpayers will choose to itemize deductions,” says the Better Way proposal released in June.The upshot, real-estate industry leaders worry, would be that fewer people would be incentivized to purchase homes, which would weigh on demand and possibly the broader economy.The House proposal also would eliminate for all businesses the current deduction for debt interest payments.
