Should I stay or Should I go?

[Maya German]

Hello everyone,

First of all, I am new to BP and I enjoy reading people's posts. So here is my dilemma.  I am selling a couple of my rental properties in San Diego, CA and would like to do a 1031 exchange on a multi-family unit. I am not sure if I want to buy a multi-family unit in San Diego because of the high costs. I would like to know what would you do? Would you invest in other state like TX or AZ or stay here in San Diego. Any feedback is appreciated.
