Buyers Want More Than a Pretty HouseSan Diego buyers are discerning, and they don’t just want a house that looks nice—they want one that functions well and reflects their lifestyle.

They sell the dream and leave out the fact that they never realized a comfortable lifestyle by doing what they are suggesting others do.

Your life style has lead you to this situation and you must change your lifestyle in order to be successful with real estate. 

If you are simply buying for a lifestyle investment, then you have much more leeway in what/where you might consider buying.

If you live paycheck to paycheck and do all this you are never going to become an investor because you aren't willing to change your lifestyle now for something you can have in a few years.

A stress-free life is the best life.Why have 100 properties when you can live the lifestyle you want with less houses that are paid off.A paid-off house also is one less obligation that you have, no monthly mortgage payment that you have to worry about.

@Marie CopulHunker down and pare down your lifestyle expenses as much as possible so you can replace what you need as quickly as possible.I did have a client take down a 57 unit mixed use apartment deal that added $1.1M to his net worth and $180k a year in cash flow in 12 months but those types of results are not typical.However, some type of commercial real estate would be my suggestion and one where you are driving the ship so you keep most if not all the equity.I have some ideas for you and would be happy to talk you through them.
