I recommend you discuss and plan this in depth with a local lender who knows your market well. 

Did you guys ever raise private money?

@Marc Anthony MacielIf you're diving into house hacking and multifamily investing in Southern California, you’ll want to focus on markets like Riverside, San Bernardino, Ontario, and Long Beach—areas with strong rental demand and solid appreciation potential.

But for the best local advice, make local connections in the market with Host groups and Rental Associations.

I’m Mark, a new real estate investor based in San Diego, leveraging my background in AI-driven lead generation to find off-market deals.I’m currently looking for small multifamily properties (duplexes, triplexes, or quads) to rehab and house hack, to build long-term cash flow while living in the property.Outside of real estate, I’m into fitness, golf, and exploring San Diego’s best outdoor spots.

Alas, this scenario didn't last very long, as you would expect in a free market capitalist society -- new money flood in, more STRs in supply, property prices increase, STR incomes decrease, until a new equilibrium is achieved.Nowadays, the word STR is being used to describe both the property and the business.

Todays market vs a different market will also impact your buy box. 

I'm calculating which markets are the hottest and going after them. 

How valuable is this location in that market? 

I'm not super familiar with the real estate market in Couer d'alene like I am with East Idaho or even southern Idaho or the Treasure valley.
