Hi everyone,

First post, new to BP.  My husband and I just closed escrow on 5 lil 1 bedroom cottages, 100% rented.  Cash Flow is insane at over $700 per month after all expenses and reserves.  Happy and ready for the next deal!

    Welcome @Heather B. and good job on the first deal! Must be exciting.

    Is there any special reason you invested in Crestline? Would you share how did you find the deal?

    Best of luck!

    @Guyoz

    I have have a sfr up there that we were using as a vacation home (now on the market as a rental) and I have been farming them at market. There are not many houses available for rent and the prices can be good. 

    I was working with my property manager on the original rental and gave him my criteria... And voila... He had this one listed out of his office. 

    Low down payment, seller financing at only 4%. All the things the books talk about that are way too good to be true. :)

    @Heather B. that's fabulous!!! I'm interested in that area and wondered how you found the rental market as compared to the vacation rental market? Would love to hear your thoughts!

    @Heather B. How is the property in Crestline going? I was thinking of doing a vacation rental there. Which is better for this area, month to month or vacation rental? Does it only rent well in the summer? I have a place in Big Bear that is a great in the winter and ok in the summer as a vacation rental.
