Hello BP,
I currently reside in Valencia, CA, I own my Primary residence (townhouse) and a 4-plex here in Valencia. I have been thinking for a couple of days now that I want to purchase another townhome / SFH in the...

I wouldn’t mind one of those large ones in the south end airpark so I could lease for multiple planes, then squeeze my future singe engine piston in there.

Drop me a line or connect with me—I'm itching to swap stories, exchange ideas, and form lasting connections that will fuel our growth in the world of real estate.Here's to seizing new opportunities, forging meaningful relationships, and embracing the endless potential that awaits us on this thrilling journey!

It will make your life much easier in the future should you ever decide to sell the rental, get lending on it, etc. 

I live in Southwestern Connecticut, and am looking for places that are not only ideal for escaping the winter months but also have strong potential for rental income/future resale value of the property.

.  -- I'm currently taking a property management course to learn how to self-manage my current property and future properties going forward.
