That’s not to say Tucson is bad, it’s a great town, however it is far from urban even near U of A and downtown.

Don't do a STR in San Jose if you plan on leaving, you can only rent it out half the year: https://www.buildyourbnb.com/u...Since you built the home, I suspect it is nice and will attract good tenants - this is a good option for a long term rental. 

many areas of CA that will buy U a very nice place.. 

I was wondering since you bought in hocking can u let me know how much u paid and if there may be similar properties.

@Joe Villeneuveyou will not credit the OPTION fee , to the final purchase price .......... your option fee must be 5-8 % , if u DID credit it , maybe u could get 10%

Not sure u are so far off.

Quote from @Alex U.: There are a lot of negative headlines on the collapse of STRs. 

I own a property in Gloucester County, Glassboro near Rowan U, my alma mater.  

I did the online course (real estate U) because I have a young kid but it was super dry and boring, though it got the job done quickly and cheaply.  

Hit me u if you want to talk houses.
