New Member - San Diego

[Cory Kerr]

Hello BP!

My name is Cory Kerr, I'm a learning real estate investor interested in starting out by house hacking a multifamily in the Ocean Beach neighborhood of San Diego. 

I grew up in Encinitas and as an adult have rented Downtown (Embarcadero area), Pacific Beach (Crown Point), and Ocean Beach. I know the San Diego area well but am primarily interested in Ocean Beach since I'm going to have to live in my first investment through FHA or similar (if I can find something cheap enough).

I see a few Real estate investor and Multifamily networking groups around SD, any recommendations?

San Diego seems daunting, overvalued, and very competitive but am going to get my way in.

Regards,

Cory
