Quote from @Lorraine Hadden: Take these California Malls ---- Eastmont Mall - Closed (Oakland); Carousel Mall - Closed (San Bernardino); Laguna Hills Mall - Closed (which was featured in BACK TO THE FUTURE); and the Village at Orange - Closed.

His use case was a couple of unleveraged properties in southern CA one being in San Diego and the other in Riverside county.  

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.

Hi Jerry, yes, San Francisco has some great limitations on STR's.

For context - I'm 35, own and live in a condo, unmarried, no kids.My question to this forum - Boston is the third most expensive real estate market in the country behind San Francisco and NY.

I'm born and raised in San Francisco and started off as an OOS investor as well back in 2021. 

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

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.

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?

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