Is house hacking even possible in San Diego area?

[Karim E.]

Hello everyone,

I am a newbie from San Diego area (north county) and I am very motivated to buy my first investment multi family by the end of this year. As you know SD is very hot which makes me thinking to I invest out of state first. However, I always heard you guys saying it is best to invest where you live but still this doesn’t make sense for me as I am looking for cash flow and not really chasing future appreciation ( I mean if I can benefit from it that will be great but I am not relying on it). So I always had this thought of asking if one of you has invested in SD area through house hacking? I am very interested to know your stories.

Thank you!
