Best west coast market for multifamily investment

[Tony F.]

I am looking to leverage my equity some by selling some paId off single family homes I have and 1031 exchanging into bigger multifamily complexes. I have a construction back ground, I don’t have time for big renovation projects, but would like the buildings to be located somewhere I could visit semi easily yearly and lay eyes on my investment. I’m living in Northern California. Consider Reno, Boise, Sac, Sf baY, So CaL, Spokane, Seattle, Oregon all to be with in my reach/comfort zone as far as being able to visit easily to shop and monitor after purchase. I’m looking for buy hold properties for long term investments. I have another job and don’t need huge cash flow right away, just don’t like seeing my money not working for me sitting in paid off single family houses. Thanks for any thoughts or advice.
