There are a lot of benefits from separating your personal residence from a business investment, perhaps an inexpensive studio or small 1 bedroom in a livable area would allow you a purchase of a three unit in a rougher area where cash flow is good (albeit at the expense of appreciation).

And we are currently building a 14-micro unit development in National City (10 x 1 bedrooms, 4 x studios).

I want to do something more even I start real estate course... so:I found a property for my first deal as rentals, it is a duplex, 2bd/1ba  and studio 1/1 in Nokomis  FL.  

A recent article in the WSJ covers how Amazon is partnering with property managers and property owners to put Alexa and other smart home technology in multi-family and other rentals.

With companies like Apple, Salesforce, Amazon, Google, Facebook, and more doubling down in the city, it’s hard to dispute with what they are seeing (and putting their money into).

Can you rehab it into appartments or studios?

Amazon also has rented space in other nearby buildings, where it employs about 3,000 people.For the whole article: https://bit.ly/3h39RS1Homes and condos in Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler (among other cities) would likely be attractive to this crowd.Melanie

I also use an Amazon echo that interacts with those smart switches and the thermostat so guests can even query thermostat temperature or change the temp via Alexa.
