I see that you have 3 bedrooms and hope to sleep 10 people, so I just want to give you a heads up on that. 

Our occupancies are lower than usual post-Covid but starting to climb again looking ahead to the holidays.

I have a good plumbing contact and a good roofer so far, but I handled a couple of faucet leaks and lack of hot water that we just went ahead and replaced the hot water heater. 

If you have it under contract for $500,000 and market value "as-is" is $600,000, go ahead and try to assign for $50k, give or take. 

Another good Friday overview of rates activity and looking ahead to December, what is everybody's thoughts on where rates will go this month heading into 2023?

This also goes for blocking a driveway belonging to first responders such as firefighting vehicles." 

Just a heads up for those looking in San Diego, specifically the College Area.

However what I often find is that the capital would be better deployed elsewhere.Often times the unsexy vehicles of investing (midwest duplexes) will cashflow and appreciate far better then the sexy ones (LA beach house).With the cashflow from a midwest duplex, you could afford to stay in an even nicer beach house in San Diego each year.

For example if you are currently paying $2000/month in rent, but you can find the right property that reduces your monthly living expense to $1000/month thanks to tenants and your house is appreciating at CA rates then you may still be ahead.

But hey, you're in an enviable position so we  certainly want to encourage you to move ahead... and get started with something.
