The only issue we have run into is the prices and bidding wars.Every single home we have looked at for personal use or an investment seems to have 5+ offers and go MUCH over asking.We are currently looking at Bay Park / Clairemont / Carlsbad / Oceanside. 

Perhaps you could post again now to clear this up for all of the potential and current investors?

I'm currently using about $120k of the $805k entitlement for 2025, so my plan is to purchase an MFH soon and move into one of the units while my parents become the tenants to my current home.

I currently have three rental properties all located near the local college and the refinery in the area. 

The landlord or his agent shall notify the tenant within 30 days after the beginning of the lease term of the name and address of the bank or institution where his deposit is currently located or the name of the insurance company providing the bond

What's the current ARV? 

Quote from @Daljit Singh: Hi BP, I am currently house hacking a duplex in Union City, NJ, and unfortunately, the tenant stopped paying rent a few months ago. 

Hi Garrett, Doing a cash-out refi to pay off your current mortgage and turn it into a rental could work, especially with Atlanta’s strong rental market.

I'm currently in the market to purchase my first home (currently in an apartment).

Currently in the process of getting other sites ranked.
