Basically for me the main difference has been dealing with economies of scale.

Borrowers have to pay their HOA I am not from Florida either but I believe most states allow the HOA to foreclose for non payment of dues most states give HOA's special foreclosure laws that are stronger than a simple lien in order to give the bank 1st priority otherwise an HOA is a document recorded prior to the first and would hold priority if they didn't sign it or legislate that position away.

San Diego is not for everyone with the higher barrier to entry but there are certainly less costly ways to get started such as house hacking with little to no money down depending on loan type for both single family homes and multifamily properties.Be sure to consider total ROI instead of just initial cashflow numbers and consider the market/ economy and stats for the last several decades instead of just the last decade as most markets did well in last 5-10 years.

Economy of Scale is so much easier on mildly distressed multifamily than on single family.  

Choose your property wisely - Multi-unit properties like triplexes and fourplexes offer potential economies of scale and income diversification.

I believe we are entitled to a new lease with way stronger terms based on the expiration of this lease and the sale that happened last year. 

As my husband gets closer to retirement, his dream of owning a cabin in the woods gets stronger. 

If she said you’re taking over the payments of my loan, then that could be a little stronger that the seller understood, and now is simply playing dumb.

With the economy the way it has been, a lot of blue collar workers in my area are afraid to purchase a home as they are afraid of being laid off a few months later.
