To stay secure, I’d recommend saving 3-6 months of mortgage payments, budgeting for repairs, and possibly investing in a home warranty.

Otherwise with the dwindling tech sector in SF, and the remote work (2-3 days a week) that is most likely here to stay, it just doesn't seem like a strong mid term market to me.

Best of luck, would love to stay there if ever passing through again. 

I had to keep working, I have a cat, I could not stay at the property.

I stay in the basement, I went thru ups & downs like everyone else,  What has worked for me lately is renting to senior men (55+). 

@Rae Chris Ann Arbor is pretty expensive, so difficult to find cashflowing rentals.You may want to look in Ypsilanti - if you want to stay in your area.Otherwise, Metro Detroit offers a LOT of options.Read our copy & paste below for some helpful info:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Establish a system to stay in front of potential sellers & buyers.

Will stay tuned!

Like anything it has to stay balanced but small gestures go a long way in reducing turnover and mitigating many "would be" issues.
