Multifamily in San Diego

[Cathy Li]

Hi BP,

Looking to buy the first multifamily in San Diego. House hacking and potentially doing long-term / short-term rental.

What's a good area to buy around 700k - 1M with good cash flow? Is there any regulation to pay attention to? Some areas might not allow short-term rental.

Also looking for agents and lenders that specialize in multifamily investing. Wanted to use projected rental income to qualify for the house so want the explore the possibilities. 

Thank you!
