This hands-on experience helped us develop some DIY skills and boosted our confidence.In 2020, we bought a single-family home that we’re currently living in and rehabbing.

Decent purchase price to rent ratioSome of the areas I'm looking into are:HaywardSan LeandroOakleyConcordPleasant HillBrentwoodTracyMantecaTurlockModestoSacramentoMy concern about some of the areas specifically in the Central Valley (often recommended here on BP) like Fresno, Turlock, etc, is that looking at numbers the appreciation doesn't seem to meet the mark for me (purchase price to rent ratio is decent, but equity isn't very good), so I'm generally focused more on the SF Bay Area.Any recommendations on cities or areas would be extremely helpful. 

Very impressive portfolio...I would love to connect and help where I can so you can achieve the volume you are striving for!

Any feedback would be helpful.

If I can help you on anything please contact me through BP at any time.I know that they typically make more on their rental money because of how they are rented.  

I'd be happy to help and share some of the things we may have done differently. 

Now you're back because you think BP can help your business.

We were going to start gifting them money to help cover those expenses when the idea came up of buying their house to give them a cash infusion.

I highly recommend a well-qualified REALTOR who works with investors and knows how to help you best.7.

Converting your STR to a primary residence for 2 years can help avoid some capital gains taxes under the Section 121 exclusion (up to $250K or $500K if married), but it won't eliminate depreciation recapture.
