You’ve been preapproved and the money is in your account to buy your next (or first!) vacation rental property list on Airbnb, VRBO, HomeAway, etc……now what?

No worries. So now you CALL ME! Now it’s time to do the hunting. Are you local or like many buyers, located in the Los Angeles area? If you’re not a ten-minute drive away like I am, that’s not a problem either. With the preapproval letter, I can look within your price range and get started for you. I always preview properties before I show clients any homes because many are not a “charming abode” as their listing says they are. Believe me! There are almost no communities out here in the Hi-Desert with HOAs so that’s not a concern. The one issue I will discuss in the next post is the changing legislation with STR rules and local codes. Remember, most places now require a license to operate these and to register with the city because there are requirements and regulations to them. I’ll cover that next because it’s important you understand the laws here carefully. It’s a hefty price to pay if you don’t!! Plus, you’ll want to get the process started the second escrow closes and I’ll help you do just that.

If you’re based in Los Angeles and we’ve had the Bridge of Business conversation (oh yes, more on that in a sec), then we can proceed to virtually checking out properties either from my live feeds, over the phone, video calls, or I can report back to you with photos and notes. I then try to narrow down a top 5 with you, or my recommendations if too busy to come up still, and then we tour those together to make an offer. Many LA big shots do buy sight unseen. NOT KIDDING. It’s crazy. They’re just gone in 60 seconds so often, so don’t delay your decisions. You need to KNOW you are ready for this next step and be swift to make a move before you waste the trip and our time. Be ready to go and hit the ground running. I help make the process as easy and fast as possible but I need you to do the same or we’ll be weeping in our FOMO sorrows. Not a good look on me.

Ready, set, go? Cool. Now that Bridge of Business conversation we talked about….it’s time to have it. When you are ready for the next step to GO, call me and I’ll explain. It’s a simple conversation of respect and establishing our business partnership on this new purchase. Deal? If we’re going to be spending time and resources together, including money from both of our ends, we need to be respectful and honest with our dealings. If you’re still shopping realtors, first of all, why? Second of all, I can handle it. I also have badass backups on speed dial who know ALL THE ANSWERS and their business is solid too. Call me and let’s talk. Cross the Bridge of Business with me, and if you’re on the fence, we’ll go over that too.

Calling me is your step to getting this done and money in your pocket. 760-625-6836. Leave a voicemail or text if I don’t respond immediately and let me know you saw this post!
