Where’s the property?

Have you checked with the city to see if they will allow you add / build 40 pads?

@Noah Wieder

I would do an equity line on the condo, keep the asset and buy out of state. That’s what I’m doing...just pulled out another $169 k from one of my San Diego condos....

I bought several condos back in 2008 that have doubled in value in the last ten yrs so I was in a similar situation 18 months ago. I attended a multi family seminar boothcamp by David Linhal here in San Diego.

I suggest picking up book emerging markets that talks about real estate cycles and mutil famIly millions.

I sold (1031) exchanged 2 condos for a 7 plex for $703k and a 14plex for $1.3m which appraised for $1.75m the day I bought it in Kansas City Mo. #$350kfreemoney

All the units are professional managed so it’s mostly passive.

Apples to apples my positive CashFlow is appox the same around $25k per year. However, that’s at about 80% occupancy rate. My CashFlow should be about $50k next year.

1-The real vale of the trade is I now have $$2.5 million appreciating at 5-7% or $175k

2-My tenants paid down my debt by over $40k

3-upside CashFlow of an increment $30 potential

4 investing in front of a path of progress with street car expansion.

Bottom line I’m glad I made the move to multi family out of state. However, finding a broker and a property Mgr you can trust is the key...

In fact my friends and I just bought 57 more units in last 90 days (27 plex and 30 plex) and my property mgr and broker both invested in our last deal. We are targeting 13% cash on cash returns and 20% IRR!

I’m a member at Morgan run country club which is near you. Happy to grab a beer sometime.

Ps

One last thought. I also did 2 cost segregation’s with @scottroelofs and my tax loss in 2018 was appox $500k because my wife’s a real estate professional this comes off my six figure W2 income...

@Bryce Outcault

I started 25 years ago at ago 26 when I bought my first condo here in San Diego as well. Today I have over 86 units.

One easy quick, no cost option is to goto San Diego credit union and they will do a no cost equity line on your owner occupied condo. Ask is they will also do the non owner occupied unit. I would use this option if your plan is to hold for 3-5 yrs and then 1031 into something larger.

If your going to hold these units I would do a cash out refi and lock in the debt for 30 yrs.

I would also be careful buying San Diego at this stage of the market.
