We also have a very strong rental market, and that too has high demand from investors wanting to purchase. 

We do wish you enjoy your new investment property and we hope you reconsider so we can further help you out in the future.Good morning Mike!

And even it's SF when you purchase it, again because it's not 100% MF including the county/city classification, you can use rental income from both units to help you qualify for future investments.Option #3 is something to use only when you're not willing or able to move into the property.

On our end, its great knowing that our clients can just enjoy the income and focus on their other pursuits or their families without worry. 

@Don Miller I'm glad you enjoyed your visit to Cape Coral, Don.

I'm a local real estate broker, investor, and manager (100+ rentals, mostly Airbnb/STR and multifamily).House hacking is a tried-and-true method and in Sacramento you can produce some meaningful income while enjoying the appreciation and tax benefits of owning real estate.

Yep both enjoying the investment both short term and as a Longterm investment.  

That should be your focus, not how to purchase the land.  

Although I’m just getting started, luckily I've being able to invest in 2 mutli-family properties in New Jersey, it was a lot of work but I really enjoyed it.

In that time, I've purchased two duplexes in Beverly, MA.
