Greg, quads are great and some people love them, but a better comparison would be 4 single-family homes vs 1 fourplex.

Hello,A job relocation to San Francisco CA early this year is making me ponder if I should be selling my owner occupied duplex in Jersey City and buy something in Berkeley CA due to its proximity to San Francisco and has some fairly decent schools  for my kids and also UC Berkeley .The low  2.5% interest rate on the Jersey City property turned into a golden chain but I think I am done with managing tenants and property and would like to get more into an Equity play.

My main concern about actual house hacking for a few years in a row is that we don't want the kiddos to have to change schools once we relocate up there.I'm thinking about getting an appreciation-oriented duplex/triplex in a pricier market with good schools that we could stay in for several years, and saving for an actual cashflow property that'd we buy as an investment property instead of a house hack.

Love all the Canadian content here! 

I’d love to hear your insights and experiences!

Ive also been listening to BP since before even graduating high school.

Seller is an elderly former school teacher of mine; does have somewhere to go but will be uncomfortable for her, 2.

I’m currently taking a gap year (or a few potentially) before medical school and am looking to start investing as soon as I can!

Would appreciate pros and cons of each based on your experience.The location has decent visibility on 355 and surrounded by residential, Clarksburg outlet mall, good schools, business etc.

I love everything about construction.
