I'm from the south bay as well and both investing out of state and currently in the market for a duplex house hack.

Good Afternoon Everyone,My wife and I are looking to start getting into buy and hold investment properties, unfortunately we live in the San Francisco Bay Area and prices are skyrocketing right now so my local area is not in the cards for now.

Esp where I live in the North Bay.

You also need to check the guidelines for Section 8 because if you simply say, "I want to evict them to upgrade the unit" they may take that as nonsense, especially here in the Bay Area where they are STRONGLY encouraging any Section 8 landlord and tenant to "work out any disputes" until the moratorium is completely lifted.

We try pretty hard to keep the snakes at bay.

The most desirable neighborhoods in Milwaukee (probably the East Side and Bay View) have become unreasonably expensive in this current market. 

Multi-tenant, small bay industrial.

Long term rentals and short term rentals are great, if you want a higher return on long term rentals you'll have to go into area very close to the beach (Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, South Bay, etc.).

Unfortunately I live in the bay area (CA) and am priced out of investing here so I am looking out of state (Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, Indiana).One of the things I have been thinking is turnkey RE investing too good to be true?
