Good idea! Thanks!

Greetings all!

My wife and I have been trying to get into the STR game so we can afford to have a vacation destination that would hopefully be paid for by renters. We live in California and all desirable STR destinations within a few hours of us would cost 500-600k+ that would accommodate our family. We live close to an area in the mountains where there was a big fire a few summers ago and now people are just selling their empty lots for reasonable prices, 200k+. According to the listings most of these properties have utilities in place already. It's about 10 miles from a beautiful lake and about 20 miles from a ski resort. And elevation high enough to escape the heat in the summer. Has anyone had success just putting a large travel trailer on some land and renting it out? It seems more cost friendly for us and I'm thinking we could avoid any major fire insurance fees by not having a permanent structure on the land. Thanks for any feedback!

I have always wanted to own an investment property on the coast somewhere between Cambria to Pismo. I have been looking at vacant lots recently. Does anyone understand the process of waiting in line for utilities? Thanks!

Greetings all! I'm a resident of California and looking to get into out of state investing in the next year or so. I'm thinking for my first rental a turnkey property would be best and then eventually move into BRRRR. Everyone has opinions on what cities are the best to start investing in across the country. What are people's opinions and why? Hoping to have about 40k to invest. Thanks in advance!

Thanks! @Darryl Putnam

Thank you for the suggestion!

Greetings Bigger pockets! I have been a long time bigger pockets listener and reader, first time posting. My wife and I are finally going to take the plunge from analysis paralysis to starting to build our portfolio. We are looking for a house that either has a separate living quarters that can be rented out or a house we can live in for a few years and turn into a BRRRR property. We are looking for an experienced realtor that could help us with either of these style of properties in Fresno, California. Any recommendations?

Thank you!
