It is a very high cost of living and my landlord has been renting out the triplex for a little below market value for the past few years, however he is going to be selling the property ( all three units)  (This area is considered very nice and "shouldn't" depreciate in value. )I have been trying to deep dive into bigger pockets, reading bigger pocket books, watching videos but  a lot of the resources talk about multi-family properties as purely renting out all units and not actually living in one of the units. 

Hi everyone, Quick background, I'm a real estate investor with a high paying W2 job and credit score around 780.

Starting a new high-end residential spec project. 

You can self-manage but there is a high potential that you will be living in an uncomfortable environment when things get tough.

As the broker repping the selling, I always caution sellers on offers with high price and low EM.

High interest rates and high housing prices don't scream "BUY" to us.  

You are only looking for a 6% return...you can almost hit that with current High Yield Savings accounts or CD's. 

HELOCs and HELOANs do exist for rental, but with prime so high and secondary tier of LLPAs associated with these programs you’ll be above 10-11% all day.

This affordability can make it an attractive location for renters, particularly for those seeking a balance between quality of life and cost. 

I've shifted my focus from textbooks to spending quality time with my dad, who hasn't been feeling well lately, and I'm aiming to build up some savings through investments.Now, I don't have a car, but I have a friend who works nights and has kindly offered to give me rides anywhere between 3am and 4pm.
