Finally setting out to make that fascination my reality. 

So I am not losing out to much on the depreciation of a 25K house.1.

There is a serious housing shortage in San Diego but the policy is also trying to discourage the private market to provide more housing by being extremely unfair to landlord.

I'm still in the niche as I think there will always be a market for affordable housing.

,It should be enough time if you have the right team to get you set to purchase a home and find the right property to house hack.

Is there enough of a data set of these tax sales In your area, during the recent economy, to come up with a statistical likelihood that is reliable??????

to get to the point, i would find an area likely to experience more demand and ensure the financials work out for both MTR & LTR's. i would ideally start out with a fourplex and depending how that goes, possibly scale from there. i do believe that it is more traditional to syndicate on larger properties so i am wondering if you know if it is possible to syndicate, starting off, for one fourplex or even one MTR condo. my gut feeling is to start with one beach-front condo in florida that requires $37,250 down . a new construction fourplex, however, i could finance with a USDA loan myself and not have to consider investors so that may make things easier, possibly.no airbnb's. maybe VRBO. two week minimum stay. only in areas very likely to have housing demand due to new factories being built.i own/run an STR right now and it is going well with only the occasional hiccup.

I’m interested in doing long term rentals using the BRRRR strategy, but curious to learn what others are doing.It’s gonna be hard if not impossible to get the margin to brrrr pretty much anywhere in the region, would recommend more turn key & house hack. 

Amenities are great...but IMHO, the main amenity is a nice, clean, warm, welcoming house with good coffee and a good bathroom.

House-hacking is way too trendy.
