If San Diego wasn’t in CA that’s where I’d live.

When I tried to get it when my side of the family found out and tried tp take over reverse mortgage payments to bank because she had died it was to late so they sold the house to Hud and then other reverse mortgage companies but a relative still lives there so they can't kick them out.

We haven't lived in the townhouse in the last 2/5 years so we would get hit with full capital gains.

From my experience working with over 400 investors, consider alternative strategies like rent-by-the-room, buying an SFH with an ADU, or renting where you live while investing elsewhere.

Quote from @Jemini Leckie: Hello,I live in a mountain west state, not California.

I have about $80k in a HELOC on my current home where I live.

As a CPA who lives and breathes real estate taxation, I've noticed something interesting that I want to share with the BiggerPockets community.

In a lot of places, evictions are quick enough it shouldn't be an issue but I do tend to live by the motto "never underestimate how much damage a pissed off tenant can cause in just a few hours."

We were there looking for another property that we could buy together on the beach that we could rent out as a short-term vacation rental.We we're living it up and having a fantastic time zip lining, eating delicious food, and seeing the monkeys in the wild.it seems like from the moment I returned from that trip in August 2022 the real estate market completely changed.

I live OOS and have been doing deals in the Cleveland markets for many years.
