One of these LTR has a rent to purchase price ratio over 2% (the other is too recent of an acquisition to have a great ratio, yet).I agree in this market the initial cash flow in coastal CA is not good, but it improves fast.The cash flow of a good Midwest buy n hold property is not going to match the average monthly appreciation of a poor coastal So Cal buy n hold property (our worst has done better than $1900/month over the hold period, we have three that have appreciated more than $4K/month over the hold period).The regulations are LL unfriendly.

Even during Covid....Legal/Licensing Fees- Have not run into that yetNeighbor trouble - None, we self-manage and are ON TOP of the properties.HOA - N/A for meWhere, specifically, are you thinking about?

if your an absolute beginner purchasing a buy n hold property or househacking is best. in my opinion. unless your a contractor or know one and are comfortable rehabbing and estimating repair costs All you need for a buy and hold or househack is to find a knowledgeable agent and a mortgage company. make sure the agent works with investors!!!!!!
