Hello, Just currious on your thoughts about buying a condo or town home and renting it out.

I just had my 8 unit appraised and it came in about 50% lower than I thought it should have.

I do really love my apartment/neighborhood and would certainly have to move to a less desirable part of town if I were to house hack, but I also know that if that's the best route, it's better to do it now, rather than when I may have kids to think about.What are your thoughts?

You have to foreclose, which could take a year.Just a thought or two.

@Tuan Huynh I have several units that I medium term rent to travel nurses/doctors here in San Diego and in process of renovating and converting yet another...I personally love it...I thought I'd naturally have more vacancy than a long term rental but so far in this first year i've been trying this out, no vacancy yet.

Engage with local market communities like Facebook groups to connect with potential buyers and gather market insights.

@Wayne Brooks I read it wrong I thought the electrician pulled the permit.

I thought I would have a pool of good candidates after the new year (it was the case last year around this time) and I would have no problem placing a qualified tenant by Feb 1 or latest early Feb but the activity level has been very low.   

Hi Nicole, have you thought of using the rental arbitrage way?

You may still take important efforts to expand your expertise and knowledge in the real estate market, even when your age may prevent you from engaging in some activities.
