@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.

How valuable is this location in that market? 

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

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.

What market are you in? 

But it really depends on how good your marketing is.

What's your criteria for the market you're interested in? 

So it could take a decade to get to todays market rent. 2) it’s almost impossible if not impossible to non-renew a tenant, especially if you’re not an owner occupant. 3) As a seller, even if I could remove paying tenants I never would without a non-refundable payment from a potential buyer that covers all vacancies for 6 months if they fail to complete the purchase. 4) You MIGHT say as a buyer that’s worth it.

I’m looking to invest out of my home state, Texas, and have narrowed it down to 3 markets.

I'm also concerned about the real estate market as a whole.
