, she is very emotional. we agreed that if we cant find a location that we thought was "forever home", then we would do something similar to what we did last time, buy something, add some value, live in it for 12-18 months, and move on. we live in san diego, ca. our jobs and debt-to-income only allow us to go so far. everything we are seeing doesnt scream "forever" to us. we went to see a fixer upper yesterday and seemed to be on the same page. if we bought it, made it livable, it would cash flow day one if we left (even though we plan to live in it). however, there is a duplex i have been looking at (in a C neighborhood), but would cashflow almost three times as much as the single family.

Ok I want to get some opinions on how bad this deal is.This is about a 1 hour drive to San Francisco-So rents are below market but that doesn't mean we can raise them anytime soon.

In San Francisco we found that while the median expectation for annual home price increases over the next 10 years was only 5%, a quarter of the respondents said they thought prices would increase each year by 10% or more.

In San Diego County, CA. 

I've got rentals in San Andreas and Angels Camp.

In my opinion an A location can be in cities like New York and San Francisco, and in other markets too like Chattanooga TN, or Milwaukee, WI.I guess I can tack on the notion of super A locations.

I moved here from Maui and I grew up in San Diego.

I suspect anyone who has followed his program to get out of debt (including or sans mortgage) has probably, over the course of the journey, developed the financial skills and discernment to make reasonable leveraged real estate investments.  

Can anyone refer me to a Real Estate Attorney in San Diego (or perhaps California) that I can use to either help draft a new lease or review one that I create with EasyLandlordForms or LegalZoom (which they both say are state specific).
