Multi Family investing in SD
Hello BP. Me and my wife are San Diego natives and just moved back from AZ where we lived for about 10 years. We are debt free with some capitol and excited to start some real estate investing at this stage of our lives. I am strongly considering multi family as our first route to get started on this crazy journey. Any tips or tricks to breaking into the competitive San Diego market? Some light research and reading through some blog posts on BP I can already tell this no easy in todays climate. Looks like most recommend going the house hacking route, but for my situation I would preferably like to start with a 3-4 unit property without owner occupying that can cash flow from the start. Not afraid of units that need work or rehab. Thanks for your time and any suggestions.
