We are in the same boat.

Rinse & Repeat many times over...Then buy yourself a boat.

It's nice knowing there's someone in the same boat (I'm sure there are many of us lol)

I am in the same boat as you and looking to invest in the same type of properties however, I am in Germany and also have the VA loan available to me but since I am going to be here for at least another year I got preapproved for a conventional loan and lined up other financing options as well and I am looking to purchase my next property before the year ends.My question for you is where do you plan on buying your MF property?

I am in a similar boat as you.

You are in the same boat I am regarding the cost of housing in Southern California.

Anyone out there making boat loads of money doing this? 

I am in a very similar boat as you Monish from the standpoint of houshacking a duplex using an FHA loan.

I'm in the exact same boat as you...central valley....got 2 properties that have a ton of equity and moderate cash flow..... and can't find squat in CA anymore that makes sense with the numbers.So sell, them, and 1031 them into......what?...

There is a lot of commuter rail access here, as well as P&B bus, commuter boats from Hingham and Quincy and the ever popular RT 3.I suspect that most people going into Boston just leave early enough to account for traffic.When you compare Middlesex County to Plymouth County, you'll find far higher prices.In the last 2 weeks, homes sold in Middlesex County averaged $636K while Plymouth County averaged $424K.That tells you that not only will you have a higher acquisition cost for your flips in Middlesex County, you'll have to rehab them to a higher standard of finishes.
