In celebration of the 20th Santa Barbara Investor Meetup, I had DALL-E draw us this picture.  Also in celebration of the 20th SB meetup, we are excited to announce the switch to a NEW VENUE - Third Window Brewery. We will meet in the Barrel Room (back left of the courtyard... the room with all the barrels). This will provide warmth and light in the winter months, and we can easily spill into the courtyard when it warms up.  We are going to kick this one off with some quick introductions to make it easier to pinpoint the folks you want to connect with, so make sure to be there on-time.

For those who are new, we are a group of real estate investors of all experience levels and folks interested in investing in real estate. This informal monthly event provides an opportunity to get together and share stories, experiences, leads, etc. Whether you have only started dreaming of your first property, or just closed on your 100th; whether you invest out of state, or keep it local, we look forward to having you join.

Please RSVP here and post a response if you plan on joining so we know who to look out for. Give Baird a call or text at 805-705-5667 if you have any questions or have trouble finding us at the event (best to call if the event has already started as its easy to miss texts).

Hey Miguel. I'm on my second house hack. Both duplexes with stand-alone houses. First was Santa Barbara (purchased in 2020). Rented out the smaller unit for about 60% of the mortgage then moved into the small unit and rented out the bigger unit for 80% of the mortgage. We since moved and turned the small unit into a furnished 30-day rental (not regulated as an STR in any market unless regulated by an HOA; at least to my knowledge). Now the small unit covers 80+% of the mortgage and with the LTR rents in the front unit, the property is a Cashflow King.

We currently live in a duplex in Ventura that we purchased July 2022. We are living in the smaller of two units that we rehabbed first while we fix up the larger unit. Once that is finished (end of this month), we will move into the larger unit and rent out the smaller as an STR. Ventura is pretty relaxed on STRs 😊. We conservatively expect the STR income from the smaller unit to cover the mortgage, but there is a good chance it will do better than that. I should say that the both properties needed major rehab work. Always happy to discuss further. Best of luck!
