During Covid it was very hard to use with all the multiple offer situation but it's  been better for people in the market I live in.

It is a 2/1 Duplex where I will live in one side and rent out the other.

Where do you live and work / what's your investing focus?

It looks like you live close to your rental… I would say, “why not manage it yourself?”

Hi, would love some input/advice on this scenario:  I currently live in the Bay Area, and have a single family rental in Merced, CA that I believe has a slow appreciation: bought for $170k in 2005 & its now worth about $400k.

Any of you live outside the U.S  or have experience on countries where the dollar stretches' the most, Im biased in Bolivia, SA, because my family is from there , im fluent in spanish and been visiting on/off since i was a child, longest time i stayed there was 1yr.

And so there were many reasons that I never felt personally comfortable with pulling the trigger on them.At the same time, you want to know how the investment is actually doing.

They weren’t comfortable” Don’t do it.  

@Anastasia Jordan, ADOR does like to hear about it if you are a neighbor or live nearby and plan to rehab the property.

I am interested in purchasing my first out of state (currently live in CA) investment property.
