@Terrance TeagueThank you so much, Terrance!

There are times when we wouldn’t be in the home for a month, so furnished finder makes sense but dates have never quite aligned. thats fair to say im trying to skirt hoa rules, its my first experience with an hoa so im just trying to navigate it. thank you for your response. 

So I live in CA and the laws and regulation here can be crazy.

On the other hand, a broker is also incentivized by you buying the property so their opinions of things could be a little biased. 

I'm newer to the BP forum but have been an avid listener of the podcast for the last year or so.

So I take the equity gain on paper then rent it out.  

In September I never cash flow and in a couple of months I just cover so I look at it annually.

So, I say go in reverse. 

So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.
