So this reason I rented the unit.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

If you are going to self-manage, you need a great TEAM.

ThanksSuhaib I'd suggest finding a broker, they have alot of knowledge and have your best interests as a goal, insurance agents have their employers best interests as a goal.Insurance in CA will continue to increase, its lagging in inflation and all the fires are affecting it.Many homeowners are moving to self insured.The fair plan is asking for 1 billion in subsidies, purported to be funded by the carriers themselves, I have no doubt Ricardo Lara will make this happen.

I have the opportunity to manage someone else’s 10 unit commercial building.

Make it a gas unit, not wood.That might make it more interesting.

They don't care about the 20 year old HVAC unit or a 10 year old roof.

As for the areas to target, my goal in getting our feet wet as real estate investors--and since we plan to be living in Sac--is to find a property we can live in while renting out one or more units to help cover our housing expenses, which we can then hold and continue to rent out when we move.

Ideally, I would like to buy a 2-4 unit, but I'm not closed off to a single family and renting out the rooms.Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
