Believe me - something I didnt really think I'd be having issues with - but if you have some heavier care folks which I think the trend is that heavier care will be the norm in AL due to everyone staying home much longer - it will be an issue for sure.

The way I interpret your phrase is that you will be living in one of the 3 units yourself, while renting out the other two.If this is the case, than you're buying TWO properties, for tax purposes: a personal residence (1/3 of the property) and a rental property (2/3 of the property).

(You know, all the cool stuff that attracts people like you).Investors start seeing all the money being spent on this sorts of stuff, and decide to come buy up land and create all sorts of new, cool trendy pubs, bars, restaurants, yogurt shops and other stuff you might not expect to find in a city of this size, which attracts even more of your peers.10-20 years from now when 50% of the workforce might work from home, or some high speed rail gets built that connects Sacramento and Stockton to the Bay Area in less than an hour, you'll look back and realize making the move to Sacramento was one of the best decisions you've ever made......And so will every investor who bought property here and the let the appreciation and rent growth boat take their portfolio to new heights.I'm the perfect example... bought a single family home in October 2016 for $260k with only 5% down... remodeled both bathrooms, painted, replaced the AC and pool pump and that's it.

By the way, using phrases like "...small multis (duplex/triplex/4 plex)..." doesn't fly well in the US where 1-4 family property is considered single family by almost all banks because of GSE designations.

I agree with John and Daniel that mostly your efforts should be focused on finding deals, but you do need to start building buyer relationships right away - you definitely need buyers, and finding one with no time to spare (after you get a contract signed) can be challenging.Google the typical REI phrases like "sell my house fast" etc. and call the top ones - tell them you have a deal IN THE WORKS (typical 3/2/2 blah blah blah) and you just want to see if they will be interested if you get it under contract.
