I currently live in San Diego, but have one rental in GR and am looking to build up a reserve then go after a few more.

Hi sorry the bank didn’t accept you for your loan quick question are you looking to purchase property in San Diego? 

I added $25 a month for trash and $25 a month for snow... coming from San Diego I'm not too familiar with snow costs.

I understand that living in the property for your first deal helps the bank give you a loan easier for your first deal, I was wondering if anybody has experience just, going straight into buying a multi family residential property right off that bat without living it and renting all the units out, the reason I ask this is that, I live in Austin TX and work full time there, the multifamily prices are pretty expensive, so I was wo dering about buying in Kyle or San Marco's, maybe get a cheaper multi family unit there and treat as a separate project. anybody got any pointers?

Just look at rent controlled cities like San Francisco, the most expensive market in the country.

For those of you who know the San Diego region, I am going to be living around Mira Mesa, Sabre Springs, Rancho Penasquitos, and we are probably going to paying around $2,900 a month for a 3-bedroom 2-bath ~1500 sqft home.

Would love to meet some new people with some skin in the real estate game. I've recently started wholesaling with a buddy of mine and I'm open to learning some new strategies to investing. Lets Talk!

Mike from San Jose says he can get good returns even below that number.
