@Dana R.Honestly it really depends on your area.

Hi Dana,I don't have the exact answers you are looking for but I listen to the podcast of an attorney and CPA who discusses this topic often.

Just  go back and read Dana's reply again.  

Just pulled a property out of escrow in Dana Point yesterday.

Welcome aboard Dana and best of luck investing!

@Dana Nay It's best to try it and see.

This is a pretty similar argument to: "I was looking to put money to work in the state of New York and we happened on this building near the Apple store on 59th an 5th and are just really struggling to make the numbers work".At 1.75M for a triplex I'm guessing this is in Newport, Laguna or maybe the parts of Dana Point or San Clemente where they have income with views.
