Ryan, this kind of deal reminds me of a situation a friend of mine, Carla, encountered a few years back in a suburb near San Diego.

For instance, someone making $500k a year and living in a very highly appreciating market might be extremely happy on a deal that loses $200 a month but is getting 5% appreciation on a 2 million dollar property in San Diego, butut that doesn't make sense for the investor with 30k and a lower paying job.When it comes to the book series I agree with you that the order doesn't make sense (having read both).

I’ve seen something similar with a friend in San Diego, who bought what he thought was a legal duplex.

After he teamed up with a local intermediary in the Bay Area.. from what I read in the Wall Street Journal, Lockton has been helping investors streamline these moves.. he ended up freeing enough capital to invest in a mixed-use building in San Antonio that we’d been eyeing for a while.I’m no attorney or CPA, so I’m not giving legal or tax advice here, but there’s definitely something to be said for repositioning your insurance to fit your broader investment goals.

It’s worth having a Plan B for unexpected shortfalls if you can, like setting aside reserves.From what I’ve seen, markets like San Diego, Chicago, or Austin also offer creative financing opportunities you can explore further.

The beauty is, you can rinse and repeat, moving your equity up the ladder of properties, from a small duplex in Austin to a bigger aprtment complex in San Antonio, or even pivot into a promising commercial spot right here in the Phoenix area.I remember a friend of mine who started off nervous as heck about his first exchange.

Why would I not choose to leverage at 6 or 7% (my current lock is at 6.385%)https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/ca/san-diego/real-estatemy long time stance that the RE should be judged on total return use to be very unpopular view on this site that viewed cash flow as sure and superior and appreciation to be gambling.  

Hello, does anyone have a recommendation of a good eviction lawyer in San Diego/Chula Vista? 

I’ve personally helped investors across the US, and with over 150 flips under our family's belt in San Diego and a growing BRRR portfolio, I’ve seen what works - and what doesn’t.

Bought my brother's tractor near San Antonio and had it shipped to Belize.
