I always learn something and get a lot out of it.When I joined HFF they offered a free ticket as part of the package to a live event called Flip Hacking Live in October in San Diego.

I recently closed on a condo in San Francisco and put it up for rent.

Of course, the most successful agents are full-time and work insane hours.

I grew up in the area but for the past 12 years I have lived in San Diego I have some investment Capital to work with but not enough to buy a home outright.

I actually have a great connection for title in San Diego I can set you up with.

I have a house under contract in San Leandro that I plan to flip.

I live in San Francisco and buy SFRs in Raleigh (I'm from the area).

Nearly the entire family of our daughter-in-law lives in SoCal, and we owned a pizza place in San Clemente that we sold a few years ago.  

Plus, you're incurring additional expenses that eat into whatever equity you do build up in your 2-3 years.Fair warning, the rest of this may seem like a bit of a downer but having just spent 5 years stationed in San Diego and, after a lot of research, deciding to rent while there and invest in other markets, I think it's worth presenting for you to consider. 

So any purchase in San Diego with intent to STR should take into account potential STR regulations into any purchasing decision.
