@James Messa I'm nowhere near ready to do a deal on my own. you are 100% right, but you completely misunderstood me if you think im looking for someone to tell me to go for it or not. the purpose of this was to find out where im going wrong, what i may be missing.

Buy a duplex or multi-family property on the peninsula or the surrounding area (James Island, etc.), live in one unit and rent out the other unit(s).

@James Wise Team is a great connection to have.

@James Wise  Extremely good points James about principal pay down.And one reason why break even cash flow or a little negative in a market like SF Bay ARea is wholly acceptable and not some stupid maneuver.. it really depends on your market and what is the best move for said market.  

Hi @James Allen,I would say the biggest thing in my eyes would be to respect their time and reputation.

I concur with everyone else here @James Haffner.  

@James MillerDo you mean true multifamily/multiunit properties (i.e. commercial properties of 5+ units) or are you thinking residential properties (1 - 4 units)?
