You might have to dig into off-market deals, though, since inventory is tight.Multi-Family: Always a safe bet if you can snag a good deal.

Long term play would be to either use it as a short term rental or 1031 exchange it after 2+ years.

Hi,Definitely interested in learning more and exchanging experiences about the Portuguese RE market.Regards,Rui

I am currently waiting on a rather large legal settlement to hopefully hurry up and get him his $16,000 or if we can find someone to go ahead and pay him off early (no prepayment penalty), which would be hopefully paid off sooner than later as well in exchange for a secured lien on the property plus repayment of the $16,000 plus interest short term.

I'm betting he'd drive to that area.

I'd bet on Austin over 30 years, but again, not necessarily relative to SFO. 

I’m here to connect with like-minded individuals, exchange ideas, and continue learning from this incredible community.

There are a couple of unique tax laws to real estate investors - 1031 exchange, bonus depreciation on certain improvements, Qualified Opportunity Zones, real estate professional status, etc.Make sure that the accountant you interview to understand the above concepts.best of luck!

Moving forward scaling with hard money loans may be the best bet and would avoid the headaches of living in a construction project. 

You're best bet is to call a few brokers local to the area and see what they can come up with.It's definitely going to be a surplus or excess carrier that will do it and the premiums will be high.
