It doesn’t take a lot but it’s gonna be hard to attract capital until you’ve done a deal or two.

Looking around the East Bay, Oakland more specifically at the moment, trying to find an attractive multi-family rental property.

Nevada is still used for corporations or other entities where you attract other people’s money as they have very good shareholder protection features too.

We also want to provide them clear information on how far they would be from particular attractions.

I'd like to present to him an attractive Seller Finance deal, but I don't know where/how to begin.

I think if you find a property that is close enough to the mountain, maybe off moonridge, then it should attract enough renters to offset the higher property management costs and longer vacancies like the property you stayed at.The problem is finding a property like the one you mentioned, as a property like that would be overpriced in this market, as an owner who’s selling would bake in the price of it being fully rented in a “normal” winter season.

My lady friend, who has a very solid 9-5, has offered to co-sign on the property in order for me to get approved for the loan.

I understand Tahoe is a preferable market for STR (Yes, I know about Measure T :) ) due to the year round attractions with exception to the shoulder seasons, but really open to everywhere with a decent market in Norcal.

Furthermore, I love the city, it’s food, drinks, culture, entertainment, and hustle and bustle and believe it to be incomparable; I am not alone with this feeling and it’s what attracts many people. 

Generally, better to be able to attract the best tenants with high credit scores and income, anything else is too risky IMO.
