Hi Michael - they have stackable where the washer is top load and dryer is not (we have this now in all our units). all is one is not an option and takes hours to do one load (have you tried one, they are terrible)... and separate is also not an option because of space. 

For a Bay Area rental with a stackable washer and dryer, should I invest in a high-quality model or opt for another one priced at $1,300? Any model ideas?

The current one lasted 8 years and needs to be replaced (as per what our property manager is saying)

I heard front loaders could leak, so I typically only do top loaders for rentals.

I am new to RE, first time buyer. I would like to purchase a duplex anywhere in the Bay Area. Currently living in San Francisco, I can move for a house hack. I would feel comfortable buying 300-450k putting 20% down. I’m a self-employed business owner with no debt and a great credit score. I am willing to fix the property and hold it.

Is this a realistic $ range?

Will I have any luck in duplex foreclosures?

Would purchasing in Napa be a good idea? Or anywhere in Northern California? To then Airbnb it.. I have excellent hosting experience.

I’d love to connect, chat, or grab coffee with anyone who has knowledge in this area.

I would like to begin building relationships with people in the industry in hopes to find a partner after my first purchase.

I welcome all feedback. Thank you.
