Central Ave has a number of unique, local restaurants and drink spots (laundromat speakeasy with bottomless mimosas and Cuban food on Sundays).Good luck!

Nothing against you guys but I prefer to be able to walk into a place and deal with people in person.

I sent an email just a bit ago, feel free to respond to that with your preferred phone number and times that work for you and I'd be happy to connect.  

I'd really prefer to just adopt something that another PM has already used and found success with, or use it at least as a framework that we adapt from.Appreciate any feedback that you think might be helpful.

.), I'd recommend that the residential units fully cash flow the loan as my experience is that mixed use properties are tougher to finance as most lenders tend to prefer one or the other and something in the middle gets more difficult.For example, and granted I don't know anything about the area/neighborhood, I would expect this property (https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/111-NW-Har...) to be easier to finance than the mixed-use property you mentioned. 

In fact, you insisted that house was turnkey and that your "preferred" management company was suggesting unnecessary repairs (I did walk the house in person and they were 100% necessary).And yes, you did walk the property on a video chat with me, but what I found working with you is that I have to ask A LOT of questions because you are not forthcoming.

Quote from @Alyssa Dinson: Hi everyone, I live in California and have been meeting a lot of investors who prefer to invest out of state due to California being so expensive as well as the aggressive tenant protection laws we have here.

I’ve been a serial house hacker in the greater Boston area so happy to connect and share some lessons learned.Multifams inventories are quite low depending on your budget and location preferences.  

I absolutely prefer renewals.
