Recently a client of mine purchased a 3/2 single family house here for $185k, put $25k into rehab, and ARV is $264k and pulled off a clean BRRRR.

Hello Bigger Pockets Community, I have a Tennant looking to move out in May and she wants to have a family member take over her lease.

Hopefully grow that to $10k/m in 2025, then JV on deals with my family while traveling.

@Moshe MarcianoI recently helped an investor from Orange County purchase a single family home here in San Diego.

MikeI find most multi family deals in C areas that are in the verge of gentrifying or in tertiary markets like you are looking at!

It is were me, I'd stick to attracting families.

My first choice would be a duplex but I'm also looking into single family.

But, given that he has a primary residence there already that he must leave (Army doesn't give much choice on location), if he isn't able to sell the property quickly for at least break even, and can't take a deduction for a loss, my thinking is to flip it to a rental (question is which kind makes the most sense), he should be able to cash flow given his monthly expenses, even if only $100/mo, then if he still sells for a loss in a year or two, he could take a deduction.  

So I will go from owning 3 properties, including my primary now, to owning 4 properties, 3 single family, and 1 4plex. 

When you say 'legal one family', do you mean that it is zoned for single family residential?
