I retired in my mid-50s and live a comfortable life, grateful every day for the path I chose.Looking back, I’m forever thankful to my partner who encouraged me to take that leap of faith and move to Ohio.

I am gonna live in this multifamily, thus I think I am qualified as owner occupying.

They live in a semi HCOL area called Torrance (house is in a good zip code 90503).

Virtually everyone lives somewhere especially true for those that pay taxes (in CA property and income tax).  

You may also want to consider purchasing multi-unit properties and live in one of the units.

It is live and able to be edited or changed anytime.

Thanks, Dan Audino Have you considered a live and flip?

I'm a guy approaching middle-age, living in Chicago.

I don't do this for a living and have no real world experience, but at 40% down, even with a 7% int rate, that seems like a high monthly payment.

And it has been gaining recognition as a vibrant, desirable place to live, especially for younger professionals and first-time buyers.
