I've often wondered if there would be a viable vacation rental market in Temecula wine country or Lake Elsinor, or if they are not mainstream enough yet.

This will straddle two tax years and that's another situation that will work to your advantage reporting wise and is a phrase that tax courts have used in the past to describe a valid exchange.  

I was recently approached by a company looking for an outside sales rep (account manager).1- I can see how this position will offer me the more freedom to structure my days to fit both my real estate deals and my sales clients. 2- It also involves travelling around the country, which might give me the opportunity to learn other real estate markets to expand the areas in which I do business????

I just finished purchasing my next project at the court house steps and will get started with the rehab soon.

For example, if you check in bergen country on the mls, there are less than 10 listings.

I was a bit wary given how hot the market here is right now and seeing the financials for some other markets around the country. 

I know the court house is the most current and best place to get them.  

Local markets also effect decisions as something almost considered a given in one part of the country might make no sense in another.

Then I follow: You got to see your business or Company as your Country.

Pay them down over the course of my life, and retire, and use the monthly income to pay my retirement, and sell when needed.I will seek out properties in key areas of the country that allow for families to rent, that are affordable (middle of the market), and can easily sell in 40 years time.
