Hi Dylan,Your strategy to buy a townhouse for $260,000 with an initial $9,800 investment and live in it before converting it to a rental is a financially savvy move.

Best to buy 2-4 unit, live in one, rent the rest.Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

A househack is a financial no-brainer 99% of the time.

You saw a lot of that start to go away leading into the financial crisis, as more traditional retail banks started acting like investment banks, hence a lot of the regulations placed on them.And, as for "why not connect with HNW and family offices", most do.  

If maximizing your capital for future deals is the priority, then selling and reinvesting could be more beneficial.I’m happy to help you run the numbers or dive deeper into the financials if that would be useful.

Paying too much initially can significantly impact overall returns, emphasizing the need for thorough due diligence and possibly more stringent financial analysis before purchasing.For future investments, consider leveraging local market knowledge further and refining your property evaluation techniques.

But California also has pretty onerous land-use regulations that limit supply, and there’s been a lot less financial distress than people were expecting, with one of the lowest loan-to-value ratios on outstanding mortgages in the country.
