I believe I started purchasing in Escondido in 2012, have near 20 units, have done quite a few brrrr there, have purchased 2 times off market there, so a wide range of experience in that market.  

STR is ruthlessly competitive right, now so losing money operating it will more than take away the tax savings...We've just seen several posts here in the forums here from folks who (1) bought in this price range, (2) couldn't get enough bookings to offset the monthly costs, (3) started losing money, and then (4) couldn't get their sale price... making them really stuck.Just trying to watch out for your capital here... if you are otherwise passionate about STR operation or have been wanting to buy a vacation property for years, great.  

In my area it ranges, currently it's in the 40s but has been slowly trending up.

I'm not willing to give up rates in the 3% and 4% range (not even those at 5%).

.), and financial criteria (purchase price range, down payment size, rent potential, cash flow potential, etc.)This can give you a better picture of what you’re after, which can help you seek out the deals that work for your investment strategy and disqualify the ones that don’t.

I would like to be in the 600-700 price range on initial purchase and looking at North San Diego County (Escondido, San Marcos, Vista, Oceanside).

I guess what I’m trying to get a feel for is the usual range people are seeing, like what investors generally expect on the lower-risk side vs. the higher-risk side.

Hi BP community,I’m new to real estate investing and currently exploring out-of-state opportunities in the $80K–$125K range, with a focus on BRRRR and small multi-family properties.I’ve been doing my research, but I know there’s only so much I can learn from books and podcasts — the real lessons come from actually doing deals.

Single family houses range from 300-400k and you maybe get 2000 in rent The taxes r high to the math just doesn’t math I spend a few hours every week looking.

Once you hit that 5–20 property range, staying organized becomes everything—totally get wanting to streamline.I’ve been using Baselane, and it’s worked really well at that scale.
