There gonna need access to care soon.

People take care of environments that feel cared for.I’ve also noticed the same trend with tenants staying 6–12 months to stack cash, especially in this economy.

This depends on two things:• Your comfort level with higher prices vs higher cash flowCalifornia = safer appreciation, tighter cash flowOut-of-state = better cash flow, but you rely on property management• Whether you care more about living in the property vs optimizing cash flowSince you plan to live in one unit, California may still work, especially for duplexes.If numbers don’t work locally, out-of-state is a strong option for rental units while you stay put in California.4.

Just be careful.  

In those areas where these are separate entities, such as Southern California, you must be careful.  

I advise you to definitely be careful when dealing with John Jackson .

Would most guests in that market even care for it, given that it's already in a warm climate? 

Long term RV only works for owner occupied units as they will be much more careful with their own trailers. 

I was much more careful screening tenants for my furnished units than for my unfurnished units.  

Congrats on lining up that meeting, that already shows great initiative.If you want to bring real value, focus on taking time-consuming tasks off his plate: lead pre-screening, running basic comps, driving for dollars, photos/videos, or simple follow-ups.Most investors care more about reliability than experience, so if you show up consistently, you’ll be a huge asset.Good luck.
