That's a bit different than this situation, but just wanted to share.

Would love to connect with local RE agents and have an idea of the market situation in SA.

Therefore, it is advisable for the client to consult with their CPA to receive personalized guidance tailored to their unique financial situation.

If it's not feasible due to circumstances I suppose I'll have to adjust my situation (find weekend job, move back to NJ with parents, move to a different state with, etc.)All responses are appreciated, and I am absolutely open to chatting on the phone by the way.My view on house hacking is it can be a great tool to buy a house you could not  otherwise afford, but it shouldn’t be a goal in it of itself if that makes sense and that’s not to discourage you from investing just there are alternatives such as the stock market. so I’d start by asking where you want to live, do you want to own a single family home or does it make more sense to rent in a more interesting neighborhood like Arlington, Alexandria, that’s gonna be a personal choice, Will your monthly payment actually be less than renting/how many people do you need to get in the house to afford that?

I purchased sub2 a handful of times for fix-and-flip types of situations, where I was in and out of the deal in 3 months.  

I'm in the same situation as OP. 

For all you know it a violent situation and she could get a judge’s order and you pry couldn’t/shouldn’t charge then. 

There are pros/cons to the bay area vs out of state and everyone's situation is different to reach their goals within their own timeline. 

I've heard horror stories that it's usually impossible due to the "burden placed on the municipality" but could really never understand what that burden was... most people living in those units wouldn't be using the school systems so aside from maybe an increased volume in emergency medical situations I can not understand that statement? 

But, that is not always the right answer and you should speak with someone familiar with your personal situation to get advice specific to you.
