Are you marketing to snow birds?

Ben Leybovich for teaching me how to incessantly tease Brandon Turner , although I refrain from doing so because Ben is so relentless that I feel sorry for the guy.

I didn't pay myself anything from my cash flow so the cash flow only served the purpose to continue the snow ball of growth.

Don't mind hyper liberal politics or snow?

But my Father-in-Law would cut the grass and shovel the snow, then his Nephew lives not far away who would check on it who had a key.

Each one had a slightly different sliding scale but they all are something like:7% full service: you leave the area (or stay), realtor arranges and oversees all things,  from cleaning the house, any repairs, snow removal and lawn care, shutting off utilities, etc. all with your approval of service and cost, plus regular service below6% regular service:  list and show package, weekly communication with seller about feedback from potential buyers, weekly communication about how to make changes to improve the chances of a sale6.5% same as regular service, but communication will be monthly, unless something unusual arises5% same as regular service but communication will be infrequent and only if a change is needed or a contract is presented.I liked it because you could see what level of effort was being given for the different costs.

I'm trying to decide between JT/PDesert or a snow based vacation rental ie Big Bear, CA. 

I am from Los Angeles and my main concern is the snow/driving condition to the mountains. and regarding the 7% gross to SB county, is that true?

With current markets and methods, along with my personal income, I can acquire 1-2 SF properties  every 3yrs (properties range from 450k to 1.2m ea) or I can essentially pay down a mortgage and start snow balling but I want a few more properties in my portfolio.Goal is to have quality properties that provide me retirement income, probably have no problem with this but like many, I want more. 

I've not seen anything from either Jerry or Mike that would lead me to believe they would lead you astray just to make a couple of $'s!Now
