Just hoping there’s some way I can remain in California/SoCal (doesn’t have to be LA) and keep these babies.

Additional Considerations:• H1B Visa Constraints: As visa holders, our real estate investing strategy has to remain passive (e.g., hiring property managers).

It remains the fastest growing metro in the US and also a top market for job growth.

Hoping it remains quashed.

If one or more units are vacant, the remaining units often don’t provide enough cash flow to cover expenses, making it harder to meet operating costs.Maintenance costs: A fourplex comes with four times the appliances, plumbing, HVAC systems, and other components to maintain, leading to significantly higher repair and maintenance expenses than single-family homes.If you want to see the detailed calculation, read this BP blog - More Units Doesn’t Mean More Money—Why a Single-Family Home Can Beat a Fourplex.Resale value: Multi-family properties have a limited buyer pool—mainly investors—who base their offers on CAP rates.

I hope all works out the best for you, but I cannot and will not allow unproved endorsements of these deals remain unchallenged. 

However, they failed to do so and remain on the premises.I immediately contacted my attorney, who filed a warrant for removal the next day.

Assuming the Oakland rental market continues to remain stagnant/competitive with newer buildings going up, is property appreciation the only way to increasing wealth with my building?
