A buddy of mine in San Antonio faced the same challenge last year.

I have a few properties that have increased 30% in the last year), and of course the tax savings + the debt paydown from the federal government or tenant.Overall returns are insane: I'm a buy & hold investor.

I immediately signed up for a BP Pro membership, joined a live webinar on how to start in 2024, and absorbed everything I could about real estate.At first, I was exploring the idea of investing in San Diego, where my girlfriend and I were living at the time.

we also have free visits (my thought is partner will likely use it more (offers have been to Emerald coast and they live in Minnesota and I live in San Diego - who do you think will visit it more?) 

Bizz friendly exactly.. out west here its gotten insane how idiotic our governors are..

I have a couple buddies in San Francisco who I've been talking to about potentially co-buying a place in Tahoe and I am wondering if anyone has advice on how best to make a meaningful case for sharing in the costs/ownership/use/profit/tax adv/etc.Curious if anyone has firsthand experience?

The growth rate in Seattle has been insane.

You're in San Francisco and I'm a local in the area that Conner mentioned.

It is insane and they make the process extremely difficult.As @Paul Merriwether stated; Oakland acknowledges rent increases above CPI is possible under the section of 'fair return' here: https://www.oaklandca.gov/resources/learn-more-about-allowab...

I have an incredible handyman that has done such good work for my properties in San Diego.
