I have just purchased a triplex (two 1b/1b and one 2b/1b, 1700 sq ft in total)  on a 7000sq ft land in San Diego (City Height).

I asking my sources at Tesla - San Jose, CA to help me interpret the info.

I’m Arthur from San Francisco and I started listening to the BP podcast a couple weeks ago.

Being that there's no way I can afford the area I live in (San Francisco) I'm going to start investing in my home town where my family still lives.  3/2s can be bought in this area for $50k to $75k and then rented out for $750/month.  

Tons of deals in San Jacinto and Chedral City (according to Zillow).

It's a long shot at this point, but I currently own a 4-unit bldg here in San Diego, and am working on a possible 1031 exchange into a 14-unit building also here in San Diego.Aside from the obvious differences in scale and financing, are there any laws, pitfalls, difficulties, etc that arise from owning commercial that aren't present with residential multi-family, particularly as it pertains to the People's Republic of California?

Rents in SoCal are up.I'm curious how time consuming it would be to do rent comps for LA County and San Bernardino County.I'm actually starting to consider multi units in all cities in the above listed counties.

There is a good firm I think in San Deigo that specializes in helping first timers. can't recall the name but google the subject I bet they come up

It is located in Rialto, CA (San Bernardino county).

I am a fan of San Antonio, always a great market, IMHO.
