@Alejandro RomeroMy opinion on best approach for house hacking in expensive market like SD (which I am currently shopping around for as strategy as well) is a 4+ bedroom SFH with in-law suite or separate entrance for privacy reasons (3 bedrooms on one side of the house with own kitchen and then your own bedroom/ kitchen/ bathroom in your segment of house).

Professionals, doctors, lawyers successful landlords you get the picture.B same thing perhaps a little older but still aimed at top drawer.C is a wide designation to my way of thinking C+and B is the segment I invest in.

I am hoping to capitalize on changing demographics, urbanization movements and a growing focus on sustainability, energy efficiency, technology and wellness, which is becoming increasingly important to a rapidly growing segment of potential tenants especially in the post COVID world.  

Yours, however, might be in a different segment of the short term rental market than those that have been severely impacted (vacation and business travel). 

Even with the anticipated challenges coming in the Retail and Commercial segments, real estate investors will do what they do best: renovate, reinvent, and innovate new purpose for those properties.

What that person is recommending is which segment of real estate to work.

Class C is not a segment of the market we are currently pursuing, but the overall concepts apply. 

The other distinct memory I have from back then that motivated me to action was an article I read that outlined where the various segments of society had their wealth.
