It’s unfortunate as their loan officer was stellar.

My point is that in my case I believe was a problem of the loan officer who I ended up using once more.

It's really important that you work with an experienced loan officer or broker, especially on a time sensitive purchase transaction.

If so, I know credco for us sends someone to our office to make sure we are compliant.When we boarded on the IM side it was intense but I actually am glad to go through that process, it means they are serious about compliance.

Meaning you can sell an apartment and purchase an office building and it's a valid exchange. 

Hey Chris,This is the website: https://suncrestcapitalgroup.com/Ive been dealing with Kevin Barrios.They have office based out of Florida.I checked BBB and couldn't find them. 

You cannot rent out an entire home/apartment for fewer than 30 days.Your STR must be registered with the Office of Special Enforcement.

My local code enforcement officer is happy to take calls. 

. - Taxes are on the higher side at $6,000 yearMy Numbers: $115,000 putting 20% of my money $23,000 and finance the rest with total expense of $1,834Monthly expense numbers: Future Maintenance 13% $273 - Vacancy 5% $105 - Property Insurance 5% $105 - Property Taxes 23% $500 - Property management 10% $215 - Office/Travel/Legal 4% $84 - Mortgage 26% $552 - Monthly Cash Flow - $316 per month or $3,792 per year so Cash on Cash = 17%I think this looks like it is a deal worth doing and I also believe I can bump the total rent up by $50 each tenant which I think make it even better.

Quote from @Ven Bud: After hearing to lot of bp episodes on negative cash flow, I have a question.I am currently living in my primary residence and planning to purchase an investment property, and obviously it is going to be a negative cashflow (bay area), but I am of the opinion that as long as the rent on the investment property is atleast going to be greater than my current primary residence mortgage it can still considered as positive cash flow investment.The investment property is going to be in a much better location (for office commute, bay area proximity) than my primary residence.
