Look forward to helping you navigate the waters, and hopefully helping each other do some business together.

Yes, they do have HOAs, but HOAs help you maintain the building and generally pay for water/sewer/garbage which you pass on to your tenants.I have been investing in condos personally for a few years now and have seen prices skyrocket.  

It is not the greatest time of year to find tenants, either, as most stable people move in late spring through the summer. 

And BART across the water is really not that bad.

On my house in Lower Queen Anne I have put money into it and brought it up to date (new flooring, new furnace, new tankless water heater, new windows, new counters, etc.).

Our force appreciation play will blow out of state cash-flow out of the water by a mile. 100% ROI within 2-3 years is quite easy to achieve with minimal efforts.

Thing is the home is only behind one installment for the spring.

I live in Mesa, which is close to Chandler, and I can see renting a home out for a season like to snow birds or possibly during baseball spring training but never would have expected weekend/weekly rentals as out performing traditional rentals with the high turn over and marketing costs.You have my curiosity,Casey

The question is, will the added expense of filling in the pool blow your numbers out of the water?
