Real estate generates a return through cash flow + appreciation.It appears that cash flow is negativeAppreciation appears to be 0% over 2-3 years based on zillowThe question is what you beleive the future will hold for cash-flow and appreciation.Cash-flow will likely continue to be negativeThe question is what do you think about the appreciation for the bay area.If the property continues to stay at $850,000, it will likely not be a good decision to hold on to the property.If you think the property can appreciate to $900,000, $950,000 over a few years, then it can potentially be a good reason to hold. 

You’re going to benefit from also listing on other platforms like Airbnb and vrbo and setting the minimum night stay to 30 days or more.Good luck!

Hi, We have an Airbnb guest who wants to stay medium-term.

Both get posted here in the forum so stay tuned here for next event details.

Trying to stay local but may have to consider out-of-state which I want to avoid if possible when starting out.

Some buyers want to do everything on their own and that is great for them.Just trying to give you some of my experience and knowledge over the years.

As you will see there are tons of resources and like-minded individuals here with more than a plethora of knowledge to help guide you down the correct path in your real estate journey.
