I felt like I was constantly chasing her down for updates, which added a ton of unnecessary stress to the whole project.The design itself was incredibly disappointing.

But as the previous comments have stated, this is nearly impossible in the greater LA area, and almost impossible to cash flow anyways.

In my area (near the beach) its mostly families and they want cabanas, baby items, chairs, coolers etc that we do not provide but I have a local vendor that delivers and picks up these items and charges a few dollars per day for each item, and give me a 20% referral. 

.- If interest rates remain high, this is further upward pressure on rents in the near-term, as the alternative to renting - buying a home with a mortgage, is expensive - this should increase demand for rentals. - Rents are also a function of supply - 2024 saw the most new construction of multifamily units in American history (nearly 575,000 estimated 2024 deliveries of new multifamily inventory), and 2025, while not a record setting year, will see deliveries top 500,000 again - a huge supply increase. 

@Matthew McCarty At the beginning of my investing career, I was constantly looking at websites like Zillow and Redfin to see what houses are selling for so that I have a good feeling on the market I picked.

This used to be a near-impossible task for a company like BiggerPockets, but technology and 3rd party solutions are getting better.

Everything in between, someone else does that is professional, licensed/insured and has warranty where it's applicable.I operate in nearly a dozen cities, multiple properties in all besides one, and these are my systems in place. 

So it's like a tech tool for marketing yourself that works constantly. 

Also, it's likely that a slightly smaller amount of each payment will go toward principal since the loan balance is higher and the rates are likely nearly the same once the MI of 0.5% is added to the rate.

There are companies that syndicate nearly every asset type in nearly every market in the country.
