I don't think I'd bank on the sale price of a MFH increasing enough to justify that style of investment.

Welcome @Auria Styles , from just above you in the East Bay!

if you are an avid skier, have a family that skis and want to always ski in one place might be a lifestyle choice with some perks (less planning, less competition for accommodations, able to leave your stuff there).

There's just so many variables: the market, your longterm goals, what other capital you have available, not to mention whatever else is going on in your life.

The need for setting up a new entity is often something new real estate investors feel they need to do, but may be premature or unnecessary, depending on where you are in life.

Work hard and do well in school, develop your basic life skills and most of all HAVE FUN.

Lower prices and a better quality of life.

I have roughly 5 years of formal work experience with different aspects of default real estate, although most of it is with paralegal style work, as I was at a default-based law firm and now am working at a bank in different servicing aspects of foreclosure (residential).Investing in default properties has always interested me, so I may begin there, but I'm here at BP to learn as much as possible to make my first deal a successful one.

I have lived here most of my life.

My life is over.
