Hello everyone,I'm Sebastian, a current senior at UC Berkeley studying Economics and graduating in May of 2025. 

In this response, I will outline the process of selecting an investment city based on financial goals.Financial independenceFinancial independence goes beyond reaching a specific dollar amount, like replicating your current income.

Due to this and the fact there are currently tenants in both units, it took longer than we wanted to get the inspection scheduled last week.

Quote from @Don Bessette: I have a 30 plus year tenant that can not keep up with maintaining their unit, it is filthy inside and in desperate need of renovation, all systems are in good repair and I respond very quickly when issues are brought to my attention.It is also well below market rent, and they struggle to pay the current rate.Looking for suggestions on how to gently proceed with the notification to move. 

Are you currently investing in your hometown or are you looking at out of state markets?

why not have that hard talk with your current manager to understand the reasons for not getting the result you want?

They are currently in the middle of a quarter billion dollar multi use zoning project. 

As for your current home I would weigh the value of renting vs selling.

@Jade Frank how much has your current home gone up in value?
