@Rachel Stallings The same thing happened to me when I purchased our 2nd property in Lake Tahoe. 

I'm curious if this is just a "coastal California phenomenon," something that is more enforced around water sources (ocean, lakes, rivers).

We are also thinking about lake chuck, LA and Birmingham, AL as places with high job growth that could bode well for real estate investors.We are looking to buy a personal home that we will fix up, house hack and sell in two years.

Lake County Ohio starts the bid at 2/3 the listed appraised value.

I am thinking of adding a solar powered web cam outside to watch the house and to provide a way for people to go to our website (when it is done) to look at the lake.

We enjoy the Moosehead Lake region here in Maine all year round.

I was going out to a property on a lake I was interested in purchasing.

There are deals out there but you have to be more creative if you want to stay in the Salt Lake area.

For investors of small multi-family properties around Salt Lake City Utah: What property management companies do you recommend?
