Quote from @Kody Smith: I am New-ish to Bigger Pockets, and would love to connect with the community here.The idea: move from single family homes into commercial real estate... specifically multi family.The Goal: generate $20k/mo in cash flowI'm currently in silicon valley (san jose)... would love to find something profitable here, but it looks like there are better opportunities elsewhere.I am open to investing in markets across the US.

Meanwhile, if you ever consider other markets for diversification, places like Omaha, Chicago, Austin, San Diego, San Antonio or right here in Phoenix each have their own flavor of opportunity.Out of curiosity, how do you see Jasper fitting into your broader investment goals?

I’m in the San Diego area and my husband and I are adding 2 additional rental units to our property. 

A friend of mine in San Antonio had a similar situation.. she inherited a vague commercial lease and learned that the rules differ big-tiime from residential.

@Josue Ramos I would recommend areas like DFW, HOU, SAN, OKC, Tulsa, Memphis or even Little Rock.

I would think transient room mates on renewable short leases would be much safer than bearing the brunt of San Francisco's LTR tenant laws.

We sold a 2 bedroom condo in San Diego that would rent for about $2K (my daughter lived in one room, exchange students paid $1K/mo) and were able to buy 3 homes in Coos County via 1031.   

. - The ultimate house hack, live in the small ADU unit and rent out the two levels of the main house on AirBnb in San Francisco (I would have thought STRs are oversaturated in S.F. but it worked for them and they stay fully booked).

I was talking to an investor who bought a multifamily in San Antonio recently, and the rent growth here has been eye-opening.

•Dallas & San Antonio, TX – High job growth and landlord-friendly laws.📌 Key factors to research before relocating:•Regulations – Some cities have strict STR laws, so check local policies.
