Sort by purcahse date, tax assessed value on home seperate then land (that way you can target fixers).

The police sorted everything out.

SF is winning me over at the moment because I'm a beginner, but I'm sort of stuck in analysis paralysis right now trying to decide.Thanks in advance! 

@Colleen Weaver - I would assume you are referring to a 5% down owner occupied loan, e.g. a house hack of sorts.

I think those rules have been in place for a long time.U need to be a broker/dealer and or i have seen RIA do this I think legally. but you do need some sort of license to raise money .. or you need to be principal or an employee

I don't know if today's climate of the city recognizing a need for more housing might make some sort of small difference (something you'd have to discuss with them) but, other than that, this is an accident waiting to happen.

The paperwork sort of selling yourself is the VERY EASIEST part.

They will have all sorts of resources to help you. 

That value hasn't been realized, unless you refinance, or get secondary loans, and doesn't guarantee future value.Also burns me up when they pass a bill and say they know it is unconstitutional, but they'll let the courts sort it out.

Check with a couple lenders that do these sort of loans.
