However, deeding is only one way to establish ownership. 

Basically, they do not want lawyers to deduct the cost of law school and doctors to deduct their medical school - which sort of makes sense. 

For me this involves making a lot of spreadsheets, but I will give you the outline.1)Establish risk capacity and tolerance: Capacity=how much can you afford, and tolerance=what you actually feel safe spending2)Use that information to narrow down what is available to buy: The amount will buy you a duplex in PB with 2 1/1's, will also get you a 4plex in Lemon Grove with 4 2/1's3)From there do the research on all of the available units that fit your criteria: This includes, but is not limited to, historical data on appreciation, market rents, historical rental data, and migration trends.4)Don't be afraid to wait for the right propertyI hope that I was able to simplify my process for you in a way that is helpful.
