The past year tenant selection seems to have gone downhill significantly. 80% of the prospects have below 600 scores, terrible job history, and even the halfway decent ones completely waste time by begging to see the property then not showing.

I'm looking to potentially invest in a STR in Big Bear, CA to offset our W-2 income, and am wondering if Big Bear or Arrowhead area is a good market for short term rentals?

Silicon Valley-based Colovore, which develops data centers that use liquid cooling, has acquired a 30-acre tract in Hutto where the company is slated to build a $500 million, 180,000-square-foot data center and a 13,000-square-foot flex office space.The ABJ has identified 19 data center projects in the greater Austin area in recent years, which are expected to include at least $25 billion in capital investment — likely an undercount — spread across millions of square feet of building space, along with thousands of jobs, primarily in construction.

I could not get at it for real estate investing unless I quit my job.   

Found a monthly meetup at zucchinis in Pittsfield and wondering if anyone here goes or could recommend one?
