Quote from @Jemini Leckie: Hello,I live in a mountain west state, not California.

I need a consistent partner who wholesales virtually in the Central Indiana market....Every deal ive ever closed was with someone that didnt live in my market......I am boots on the ground on steroids lol

If San Diego wasn’t in CA that’s where I’d live.

Considering that, you are likely going to see appreciation year over year, which essentially will be additional equity you'd capture just by simply living in the home. 

When I tried to get it when my side of the family found out and tried ti take over reverser mortgage payments to bank because she had died it was to late so they sold the house to Hud and then other reverse mortgage companies but a relative still lives there so they can't kick them out.

As a CPA who lives and breathes real estate taxation, I've noticed something interesting that I want to share with the BiggerPockets community.

We’re simply cheerleaders, fellow players, and coaches trying to get the new players to live up to their potential. 

I invest in about a 50 mile radius from where I live.

This is from the BP rental calculator and is exactly what I'm wanting to see, just with extra payments each month.
