WELL, thats what we planned so far.

I’m ideally looking to buy that first property in San Diego.ThanksSounds like you're well positioned.

Exit StrategyResale Planning: Research market trends for optimal selling timing.Long-Term Investment: Consider retaining the property as a rental post-graduation.Marketability: Choose a property with appeal to future students or young professionals.By following these steps, you can make a well-informed decision and ensure a successful investment that benefits both you and your student during their college years and beyond.Peter Derry PHD Properties 

In my view they made the correct decision and if you spent significant time recovering this cost, well I think we all know what that is. 

G'Day Alejandro,As a few have already mentioned, take a peak at Toledo also.In my opinion lower potential for long term appreciation but solid/"boring" cashflow.I prefer my portfolio to be "boring" but cashflowing lolLow entry points (Sub $100,000), high rents (Above the 1% rule).Blue collar working class decent folks that will stay and pay.Depending on the area but no derelict homes, yards well kept, cars with wheels and all tenants are employed.Plus, all are sophisticated enough to pay rent online so property management doesn't have to collect rents with bullet proof vests and shot guns lolI'm bias toward Toledo but it's worth considering.Wishing you much success

Then I p;an to move out and find another project.I am excited to join the forums and learn from the vast wealth of knowledge on here, as well as (hopefully) benefit the community with some of my own learnings.Look forward to the journey.Franklin

Other factors as well of course: DTI, the LTV, primary residence vs investment property, etc.

If we include investments in mortgage loans (trust deeds), real estate partnerships, REITs as well as direct property ownership, I’m at about 80%.  

However, expect greater transparency and heightened consumer awareness that has come out of media attention and NAR settlement to impact the listing component of seller agency as well.

If your looking to invest and learn about notes PPR may not be the right place as they are true mailbox $ and as passive as it gets (which is nice as well).
