There are a number of meetups in Sacramento and we have been coordinating the dates among hosts so that there is no overlap - I run the West Sacramento Meetup that @Ben Howard mentioned (we gather every 4th Tuesday of the month).Here is a list of meetups that we're in collaboration with (they are all based on an abundance mindset that we have here on BP)- 1st Tuesday - REI Connect @ Roseville Meetup (reach out to @Nicole Masters)- 3rd Tuesday - Investor Mixer @ Crawdads on the River- 3rd Thursday - Folsom Out of Bounds (dates may shift a bit)- 3rd or 4th Wednesday - Real Estate Round Table (CH Cafe & Grill) - they recently relaunched and stabilizing the schedule- 4th Tuesday - West Sacramento Real Estate MeetupI'm working on putting together an easy to access list that Sacramento investors can refer to.

You should never pick your 1031 Exchange Qualified Intermediary based solely on their 1031 Exchange fees, costs and charges or the size of the institution.

I know what the rents should be for each of the units (2 vacant and 1 significantly under market), the taxes are listed on the MLS, I’m familiar with the water/sewer costs in close proximity to this building, and I know what percentage to use for my Vacancy, CapEx, and repairs and maintenance based on my knowledge of the local market.

Right now between my house and ADU, we split the water based on the square footage.

Great post, I already here people making major changes to their strategy based on the incoming administration as it relates to not only taxes but other proposals either discussed or used as scare tactics.

Nobody wants a unit to sit vacant, but if you make your decisions based on fears like that they are more likely to be short sighted and make the situation worse.

Anywhere that is high cash flow also means high cap ex and tougher tenant base for the most part so as a new investor, that's not going to be great.
