I would stick to a simple welcome gift.

To give some context, my budget is around $300K, so any recommendations within that range would be especially helpful.Looking forward to your advice and suggestions!

You can usually find some events by doing a simple google search.

Any information/suggestions anyone can provide is greatly appreciated!

I don't house hack in S.F. but one suggestion an investor had for me was to do one of the units as an MTR (I was thinking travel nurses but now I'm hearing that they aren't getting that great COVID pay but people displaced temporarily for insurance reasons, moving for some other reason).

For a first time OOS investor, I'd suggest buying a single-family or duplex LTR to make sure whatever market you choose is a good fit.

I suggest when unsure and don't know, get back to basics.

Lining up your commercial lending.I suggest, focus first on small commercial multifamily: 10 ~30 units.

@Jimmy Rojas - Simple solution, complete your taxes.

I'd suggest getting plugged into your local meetups and connecting with successful investors & property managers in the multi-family space.
