We have a Two-family investment property in NYC with a 3.25% rate.

I have one rental property in San Marcos, CA (North County San Diego), which was my primary residence for several years before I moved to Orange County.

For reference, I own two single family homes and a duplex that I rent.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

I would recommend you to focus on areas like Katy, Cypress, Spring and Spring Branch for single family homes.

@Alex Mull as some with experience in both turnkey and all-in active investing, I can tell you the biggest advantage is saving, time, hassle, and some full-service turnkey companies mitigate your risk by doing the upfront renovations and placing qualified residents while the company still owns the house.

We have several rentals in the Temple market and family members with a decent portfolio in Bryan/College Station.I agree.
