Is your DSCR ratio greater than 1-meaning are you cash flowing (according to the lender's criteria of mortgage, property taxes and insurance (and HOA) if applicable).

The homeowner has direct title, can sell at any time and gets 100% of the appreciation and tax benefits on these houses.

Most cities don’t want a mobile home park in their city limits because the tenants take more money out of the tax system than they contribute.

You filed two full year tax cycles and the numbers are similar (no greater variant than 1%) they maybe yes.Generally depreciation is added back as income BUT only the 40% portion you own not all of it.

I had constant issues with the local government and the taxes were absurd.

Other advice, especially that pertaining to tax benefits, is also highly appreciated!

Currently, interest rates, taxes, and insurance are very high, making it difficult to cashflow with downpayments that are below 40%.

I could also see 15% corp tax and the whole no tax on tips thing.

Real estate investing has been a passion of mine for time with my mother also having invested early on where I likely have gotten the love and desire to follow similar foot steps.I have taken last 6 months to educate myself and currently own a single family home as primary residence and would like to expand to multi family properties (2-4 units) for additional stream of income, not to mention potential tax benefits for long-term investing.Based on current living situation, I have a fair amount of equity established in my primary residency along with having enough cash to either pay off house completely or use towards investing in a multi family property.Given that I'm the sole source of income for our household with my wife being the home maker for our two kids under 2, trying to weigh out risks with getting started now or perhaps waiting. 

As you know its near impossible to find a good cash flowing deal in CA due to sale price, taxes and lack of inventory.Last one I closed on was over off of Germantown Road it was a great 2 unit that needed a little TLC for $160K but passed an inspection and was livable.
