5) If 1 acre runs around $100K here, what ballpark numbers would you expect in terms of total investment vs. resale price for healthy returns?

Again did my math and cash flow looked healthy based on historical revenues.

On the sell side inventory is slowly creeping up but overall healthy.

With better data you are getting in contact with owners that others are missing by using outdated or static databases (meaning they store their data with no real-time updates) which they update every few weeks or months.I'd say a healthy connection rate for a good quality list is 20%+ where as industry average accuracy on matched data is 40% or so with better providers able to reach 75%-85% with 90%+ in some instances and lists.

So if I'm all in at ~$1.4 mil and can sell the 3 higher end condos at a total of $1.7 mil at first glance that margin is something that's appealing to me.the debate I'm having with myself is mainly around the current healthy of the condo market and what the resale prices would be in ~8 months from now.

I'm pretty healthy (so far) but my blood pressure goes up at times with all the stress of managing my W2 and these rentals and trying to acquire more properties. 

I only hope something good comes to you in the future to heal this horrible experience. 

I contracted with a lady to make the sign then she had a serious medical issue so it has been all summer waiting, but I want her to have the work when she is healthy, so …   Ideally it makes the stay more memorable for the guests   Bonus if the unit gets tagged on instagram and it results in even a single additional booking  Good luck

Why do you think California is immune?

. $250-300k is a healthy 1031X that could go a long way - especially if the sellers are willing to carry!
