I am aware of the Sewage issue and i am aware that in this high interest regime it won't be a cash flow property.

@Anthony Finger I will PM you with a manager for Akron/Canton that friends speak highly of. 

One idea that I have been pondering is buying a plot of land in a relatively good location with high odds of appreciation then placing a prefab house on top of it.

are you looking for short term loans that payoff every 6 to 12 months or longer termthat will determine which direction you may want to go in. probably not enough to do much in CA to start unless you want junior position which is highly risky for you.

One - Heloc rates are very high right now in most cases 9.50 to 12% and are usually over 10-15 years.

I was starting to worry because I don't have a high occupancy for summer months yet, but am noticing that the majority of guests are typically booking 3-4 weeks in advance.

Barrier to entry is better than much of CA, rents are high, inventory is low, jobs market is solid.

I highly recommend starting by tuning in to the BiggerPockets podcast.

Also its a small home which still have high maintenance costs.

Greenbridge Property Management would be highly recommended.
