If this sounds like your perfect playground, go for it :) There are STR restrictions in these areas, so make sure you know what you're buying before you do. 2.

@Eric L Conry I completely agree with @JD Martin.Given your good interest rate of 4.3%, I don't see a big reason to pay the 15% long-term gain taxes on the stock portfolio. 

I completely agree.

(It was Hollywood and everybody has dogs)2) Somebody tried selling the appliances that came with the unit which included the fridge, dishwasher, stove & microwave.3) We were recently affected by the fires and had to evacuate, some tenants refused to evacuate even after police forced them to because they were "tougher than the fire".Have you heard of those horror stories about tenants completely trashing apartments and feces all over the apartment?

Bloody oath I do mate.It's never their fault and always yours (Ours).They rarely take any responsibility and cry victim.It's crazy to think but it's like many intentionally look for drama and deep down inside don't want success but rather problems.Someone to dislike and blame and to feel wronged by.All other personal and "at home" issues can now be blamed on this one unfortunate scenario.This "drama" per se is like food for the hungry and they need such drama in life to "survive".My apologies if my above comments sound weird as they are more so from a philosophical standpoint and just some thoughts that I have considered after 5,000+ investor intro calls and as you have mentioned, others feeling wronged by me or my company on many occasions.What a $#@% way to live IMO but I don't judge and sleep in peace.Again, I have been "wronged" by many but consider it my own fault.I also don't call them out publicly or post bad reviews, etc... 

@Daniel Baker I would say a lot of it is based on their training or their resources that they utilize to complete your taxes.

Sounds like you got it perfected as much as it can be…

I have absolutely nothing to sell.That sounds scary!

My father is a contractor so we will be able to complete most of the work ourselves while keeping costs low and add equity.

They one, aren't familiar with completing 203k loans or two..simply don't want to be bothered with them because they are more paperwork.
