@Lauren MerendinoI strongly believe that your chosen market should be somewhere that you can go to in person / have strong personal knowledge of / have family or a network in already.  

Personally that's why I like to sell such tenant buyers a 1yr extension, or at least present such.

we build at or slightly below the average new build in our market where there is high absorbtion 

I appreciate the encouragement—I'm excited to learn from and connect with investors in this community.Right now, I’m primarily focused on house hacking in the LA market, but I’m open to exploring out-of-state opportunities later in my career.

The second son is married but has not lived in the home at any point during the last 20 years so this doesn't seem to present any options for savings.I thank everyone in advance for your thoughts. 

I recd a bunch of marketing flyers from them last week

If you have experience in cash-flow markets, creative financing, or multifamily properties, I’d love to connect!

It's not like other markets where all info is online and everything is super fast and easy.

The zoning changes will make California a hot real estate market.

The best way to learn the multifamily market is to purchase a multifamily property.
