Some, but not a lot of choices are rare do any of the prices make sense to me.

We have a development coming up for approval with the county adding over 100 units bordering our small town and you can bet everyone that lives in our town is upset about it. in the end though, the planning commissions in our area tend to follow the letter of the law so to speak, so if there is nothing in ordinance barring it, they will approve, generally.

for folks in So cal  I think Vegas is a great choice   1. you can drive there   keep in mind flying to other parts of the country to check on property is going to eat up 1 months rent if you go annually.2.

I'm from Leesburg, and I can tell you—multi-family is a solid choice (piggybacking the previous comments which I agree 💯), especially with that live-in/rent-out, house hack strategy.

An duplex (main floor + basement suite) would be a great choice and you can decide if you will be living at the main floor or the basement.

Look to other members suggestions and, definitely interview your Realtor choices before going headlong into an agreement.
