@Brian Eastman & @Dmitriy Fomichenko - Thanks guys.

@Adam Hershman - When using a self directed IRA are the profits from any real estate investments un-taxed until you begin withdrawals after retirement?

When using a 401k loan do your normal contributions (and matching funds from your employer) count towards repayment of the loan?

@Robert Musallam or @Chris Mason,

What's your perspective on someone, like me, getting their first property in the Bay? Go for a 2-4 unit property but requires a larger down payment and harder to carry when vacancy occurs, or go for a "cheaper" one unit property that allows me to pay less for a mortgage than I am currently paying for rent.

@Robert Musallam & @Account Closed

Thanks for the rec! I will hit him up.

@Robert Musallam - Does there need to be tenants occupying the additional units for it to count towards the 75%?

Hi All,

Curious to hear any personal stories of putting down less than 20% for an owner occupied duplex/multi-family in the SF Bay Area. Cheers!

Hi All,

Wanted to see if anyone had any recommendations for lenders and/or had any personal contacts that they could share. I'm looking for my first property, to live in and rent out, duplex or multifamily.
