I have no more headaches, no more stress (about this tenant), and no to little concerns about them trashing the place on the way out.Its a tough balance between worried about the tenants trashing your place, not paying (especially now in this environment), or any number of "bad things." 

I was wondering what the environment is like these days with finding off market deals and foreclosures (non existent because of eviction moratoriums??)

And the state of those fundamentals in 2021 is ultimately far healthier, and that health far more likely to be sustainable over the longer-term, than the out-of-whack fundamentals from a generation ago.https://finance.yahoo.com/news...

I believe that you will continue to see a high appreciation rates as this housing scarcity environment persists.  

If the property is in SF, it's a tough environment. 

I see it as a reason to help by investing in trade schools and providing a sustainable pricing environment.  

The whole RE environment is so rapidly changing so I would like to know if any planning commission people or investors can help with these questions.Thanks for posting!

I have been reading  and listening to some more podcasts and the theme of the current environment seems to be: 1) tightest market in decades, 2) extremely low likelihood of finding good deal on MLS and 3) must find off-market deals.My question to the community, especially any sellers, what is the benefit of selling off-market?

Purchase a duplex in San Diego and live in one unit - PROS: essentially get help paying my mortgage via rental income, proximity to rental property, maximizing FHA loan on a more expensive property (maximizing my down payment in a low interest rt environment) CONS: The market is so unbelievably expensive and rents are not comparatively high enough to really make most moves profitable, high Debt to Income ratio thereby limiting my ability to purchase again2.

Some high income earners don't really want a bunch of extra cash today especially if the environment is not tax friendly.
