To refresh memory.

In the five years I've been focused on vacation rentals on the Oregon Coast, primarily from Bandon north through Pacific City, at present there are more existing and eligible vacation rentals than in recent memory.

I have had people that work on cell towers, insurance adjuster, and cooperate trainers in recent memory.

And, we take all of the good holidays for ourselves(memorial day, labor day, 4th, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Fish Rodeo)+  It is a great family vacation area, not like Orange beach with the endless condos, strip malls, etc. 

That might be noble, but it's terrible for business, and memories are long. 

So if you buy in the right community and have a home that offers an experience that the kids and parents will creat memories, there are plenty of opportunities for you to capture business. 

After many years into the real estate game, cash or credit may not seem the obstacle they once were, so I have to "reach back in the files" to pull out an old memory (to quote Alan Jackson "Drive")......I recall being very thrifty and a saver in my 20's (I had an insane dollar a day budget thing I did in the early 90's on canned beans, loaf a bread and raw carrots, which I would not recommend, unless you live in a mobile home on a construction site like I did at the time)...

But based on my ancient memory of the greater SD area, I cannot imagine that you are pulling any tech job related tenants or even military out of Miramar.

I believe the number is 11 million if memory serves correctly.
