STR Northern CA Markets

Posted

Currently I am in the market for a short term rental. I am having a hard time getting over the initial hurdle of buying my first one. The problem I am having is finding an affordable short term rental market that doesn't have lots of restrictions. Does anyone have any recommendations as far as affordable str markets in northern CA? Any help would be great. I've read several books, done a lot of research, own one multifamily long term rental, and am just having a hard time finding my entry point into the STR market.

Keep looking and run the numbers to keep from making an emotional decision.

My first one took 2 years to find the perfect property.

Be patient.
