We live in San Jose and would like to ideally start our first project that is closer to us.

I've started working with a builder locally on our first Development/Build Project.

In fact, we ended up paying a bookkeeper $450/month plus the $90 subscription to QB online to manage our relatively small portfolio.

Because of my professional experience, we'd prefer that our properties be nearby so we can self-manage and save the 5-8% typical of property management fees, at least until our portfolio grows.

Maybe we need to quit obsessing over cashflow and look at our vacation rental as a long-term investment, similar to our IRA account.

Micron is not 10 years away, site work is actively underway and construction should begin later this year or beginning of next.
