If you want to save on capital gain taxes (a separate topic from your question) then you could buy an investment property and later sell it using a 1031 exchange.

-What are the cities in the East Bay that you recommend investing, especially if I am looking for a SMR with a PP under $400,000Lastly, I'm looking to connect with any other East Bay investors to offer each other support, exchange ideas, analyze deals, etc.

They say it won’t effect our credit, we are closing on the sale of a home next week that will give us more capital to purchase an investment property in 30-60 days (1031 exchange).

I still belive that this project can be done and will be a success as long I can partner with an experienced investor, the downside of this that in exchange for this help financial, organizational and resources, We gonna offer a very good terms, interest rate form money and equity in a deal.

Account Closed are you doing a 1031 exchange or did you live in the multi-family? 

Feel free to shoot me a message if you want me to take a look at your numbers and exchange contact info. 

The relationships that you will create at meetups and the value that is regularly exchanged is absolutely out of this world and will likely change your life (it has for me more times then I can count!) 

I made use of about $10k in taxpayer-funded rebates for mine, so the final bill was "just" $26k, and taxpayers also partly picked up the bill for the ductwork because of how the local laws were written, which made it the same price as a regular system plus ductwork.Check out the new direct exchange geothermal systems. 

@John Robert Kinsella I’m having the same dilemma as I am selling one of my STRs and doing a 1031 exchange this Friday.

FRB may not be perfect but it is more adept at handling the monetary needs on a national and international level than gold backed currency ever will be.
