Just make sure you give 30 days notice to the landlord.If your goal is to house hack, it may be difficult to find a duplex using drive for dollars and yellow letters unless you find something owned by a tired landlord, and most of those guys know what their stuff is worth.I closed on a duplex in Portland last week.

I'm going to assume the first.Value add opportunities in large multi family properties is very difficult to find.  

Though I decided to continue trying it has been difficult to recapture my motivation but i think i'm finally back on track.

It is much more difficult and expensive to obtain funds when you are part way through a project and have run out of money.

I have been told it's extremely difficult to break into the Mtn Communities.

So it would be difficult to sell.You also may want to check the zoning and what that allows. 

It's somewhat difficult to do in my market because the majority of the subdivisions have strict 'No Solicitation' rules.

I imagine if you have the cash for this it shouldn't be difficult to get financing either.

As I set up my screening criteria one thing I am finding is that finding properties that meet the "2% rule" is difficult in the specific area I am looking.

Ryan,I'm also in San Diego and I've found that investing for cash flow can be difficult in San Diego County if you don't have a substantial equity portion in the property.
