@Mark BaldwinI'm looking at a few gorgeous SFRs in Oceanside / Carlsbad (west of the 5) for significantly under 2M.

European patio with a hot tub and gorgeous view of the mountains keeps it booked!

No Pink Trailers that wipe out your value. 

So, today, she has $2.5 million in equity from the apartment building, a $900k house and because we manage the apartment buildings we pay her $7500 per month.My third wife is a gorgeous Filipina, 22 years younger than myself, weighs only 85 pounds and looks like she is not one day older than 18-years old.

@Gary L WallmanYour house is gorgeous.

Here's a breakdown of my current position: Pre-approved for a loan up to $170k  $28k saved up Looking for a small multi-family (2-4 unit) that needs work I work full time as a salesman at AutoNation (DRIVE PINK!)

Purchase price: $820,000 Cash invested: $280,000 My partner and I closed on this gorgeous single family home in the neighborhood of lighthouse point.

Properties on or near the water (TN has gorgeous lakes & rivers) are hot as people edge away from big city & Draconian Covid restrictive lifestyle.

Now for me, I can live in the back unit with my buddy renting him at 750/month.I can then rent each room in the house for 1000 a month.This would leave me with a monthly cash flow of 1750, which then can be used to pay off my debt faster, gaining credibility with my lender, and putting money into savings while living in a gorgeous house.

By dated, do you mean it needs new paint & carpet, or are the bathrooms pink/baby blue and the kitchen cabinets falling apart?
