I'm witnessing my neighbor go through hell and paying for squatters living in their house and losing money instead of making for 7 months while trying to get these people evicted.

Also, what isn't very well known is that a large number of Dominicans living in the country (especially the capital) aren't poor as the Dominican economy has been booming over the last 20 years.

We took out a heloc from the SFH to get the money down for the duplex which we lived in one of the units.

I grew up just north of San Francisco and moved to Reno, NV to live and invest.

Many now getting back to live events.

But if the stock market crashes, I still have the rental income coming in to live off.

I will be living in one unit and renting the others out.

Looking at Redfin's data, it is appreciating over time (probably more than $15,600/year), but probably not as fast as other highly desirable neighborhoods in the Bay.I previously lived in this home before I moved and converted it into a rental property.

As long as the city does not hammer the builder with connection fees  ( or waives them would be best) I can see this working well as long as folks will pay that much to live there and of course Schools will dictate how well it will do long run.  

I currently live in Puerto Rico ( US territory).
