This sets me apart from some of the competition since I aim for mid level families.

The proceeds will not be able to generate the returns we have been promised.So when you say the time I have deferred income to might be now, that is only correct from a possible tax standpoint, not from the standpoint of spending down assets.BTW welcome to BP, a formidable 2nd post.

I'm getting into to buying properties for mid-term and short-term rentals in San Diego County California.

(retirees/working individuals/Section 8 there were a lot of people home for mid day on a Thursday)Working individual.

I think Bill Cereske (sorry, wouldn't let me tag for some reason) has a good point about there being an opening for mid-level that you're well positioned for.However, definitely do what's most comfortable for you and your market, which may not tolerate the fluctuation as well as mine.  

Cabinets: $1,500-$2,500 for mid grade. 

They are formidable companies.

Hi @Pete Nicholas we will most likely be scheduling a new meet up for mid August, stay tuned please and we are happy to have more people in the meet up to exchange ideas with.
