Single family, multifamily, flipping, buy & hold, commercial, wholesaling, etc... lots of avenues to success in this business.Thanks.

I'm at a turning point in my life right now where I have an opportunity to really set myself up for financial success long term. 

Has anyone had success convincing their condo board to allow renters?

Keep in mind that the areas you're looking at are not tropical and have seasonal weather.I've seen houseboats in The Keys as successful rentals.I hope you can make a profit but I think it'll be tough.Good luck

The areas south and also east of the Intel campus offer great areas with low crime, good schools, shopping, restaurants and newer homes.The newer homes will reduce your need to do major improvements for years on many of the properties.As a Broker and a Property Manager, we see many doing just what you are requesting and having long-term success.

Please note that I am not revealing any specific information that would make it possible for me to solicit any kind of deal.My wife and I own successful waterfront vacation rentals on the Gulf Coast in N.

My recommendation, try to figure out how to finance a property from the auction, AND line up a financing option in case you come across something from the MLS or FISBO.More options and hopefully that will translate to more chances of success. 

Hi Forum,I have a complicated tax situation and am looking for general guidance or a referral to a real estate accountant in California who can help answer.Facts:The property is a California residence appraised at $3M owned by the trusts of two now deceased great-grandparents, with execution of estate succession in progress.

I'm open for suggestions It seems like the more successful I become with rentals the harder it gets to buy them each time.

My two cents: You are better off sourcing a new deal, pitching that to investors, than selling past success.
