By far my favorite is in your backyard.

They are my favorites! 

Especially my favorite kind, income producing real estate.There are other options out there  like private syndications that provide higher returns and some of the crowd funding sources.

I love sports and coaching but its time to get paid for my time put in and be able to spend more time with my family.

One of my favorite house hackers is named Meredith. :) Currently she is taking in a few refugees from Ghost Ship tragedy.... because as a homeowner, you can do things like that if you wish.Fresno and Central Valley aren't crazy.

Attend REIA/MEETUPs, here is my top favorites and why!

But this is why my clients pay me to do this....so they have more time to do the things they prefer to spend their time on.I have found some tools along the way that helps improve the efficiency of my process but it is still a step-by-step process that has to be done manually for each booking.For those of you who are not quite ready to take the leap to start using reservation management software, I'd like to take a little side trip to mention a couple of my favorite tools that I've found to help maximize the manual process:Boomerang for Gmail - a tool that allows you to create an email to be sent later at a scheduled time.

KSl is my favorite way to screen tenants because the application is the same for everyone and gives me permission to call and verify anything on the application.

Ken,Things to consider:- Social Life - If your into night life or sporting events you might be better served being in the city.  

That's our favorite strategy here in Indy.
