I would consider Newport as well, but prices are a little better in Lincoln City.I own properties in Gold Beach and Brookings, but I live too far away from them to make them self managed vacation rentals.

I know there's a gold mine in my back yard though, so I will start with it first :)Thanks again Roy.

Otherwise, find a GOOD property manager and they'll be worth their weight in gold.

Referrals are gold, and I was wondering if you knew of a property mgt co that specializes in room rentals, or someone we can work with long distance to find a nice room in Daly City. 

A good tenant is worth their weight in gold, a problem tenant is worth their weight in ulcers.

hi. i am a landlord but i do not manage a 60 unit building. i agree with everyone, get a property management company to run things for you. i do a lot of work for a property management company here in the buffalo, ny area as a handyman. quite often, we handymen know of better and faster ways to get the parts you need than doing it on your own. that being said, a/c units have to have a licensed professional work on them anyway, but knowing how to get the parts faster is always a good thing. as far as the tenant threatening the police, lol, they won't even get involved. they have better things to do than worry about some joker sweating a little bit. you dropped off a fan, the tenant refuses to open the windows, which is on him, so he, himself is causing himself and his family more harm than you are. if he is worried about the high crime issue being on the second floor, lol, criminals work as little as they can. they sure as hell are not gonna scale the side of a building like spiderman just to rob this guys place of residence; unless he has a bag of money or gold stashed in the place, in which case he probably wouldn't have been late with the rent 6 times. my advice, continue down the path you are on. hire a property management company, boot this dumbass out the door when his lease expires and let him become someone elses problem. good luck

It's like a combination Mickey Mouse and Viking helmet, plus it's apparently made of real gold.

It sounds crazy, but I am looking for gold in a pile of s---t. 

Most people aren't taught that or ignore it.A bedazzled hammer with jewels and gold leaf will pound a nail just as good as a $4 hammer from home depot.  

I painted the entire interior a really light gold yellow - almost white, with white trim.
