I am in one of the most sought after area but investors are still US employees from high tech industries.

It's a mixed use, 2 commercial units (storefront), 5 apartments (3x2/1, 2x1/1), one "weird" commercial unit in the basement that is quite a large space but has no road frontage.

Do you want to invest in a very good area and have some cash flow and more appreciation, an area with a mix of the two or an area of high cash flow and low appreciation.

Even when you find them, it might be associated with a property you wouldn't want to buy.Consider working with a list broker - they can mix and match targets such as: Absentee Owners, Owner Occupied, Seniors, High Equity, Length of Residence, Financial Stability, Home Value and much more.

Been in tech/ software sales for approx last 7 years).Appreciate any info/ direction.

Also, the unit mix is good, possibly allowing movement amongst the units.Having said that, part of me would see if I could find two of the cheaper deals as they would be about $60k less than the 8-unit.

Subs are used to working on a busy site but some trades don't mix well and while it may be efficient for you it's not efficient for them. 

The recent tech sellouts are a tell sign that potentially a crash is coming to get prices back down to realistic levels...some of these tech company's stock price is trending up, but actually have negative revenue or haven't even sold ANYTHING yet.

In all seriousness, I'm mixed between commercial multifamily and equities.  

We've had mixed success with the software.
