There's also a 3 bay garage for storage that could provide some extra income, it's very near to a lake.

My husband and I currently live in CA but will be moving the the Tampa Bay region in FL in a year,  hoping to buy our first small multi-family property within a year and a half.

I have 2 SFHs solely owned (1 in the San Francisco Bay Area, 1 in an Indianapolis suburb with great school district) and 1 multi-unit in the Bay Area (11 unit, co-owned).

That is when you might consider giving up your day job.Hi Chris,What would be a good rate for a 5 or 7 year maturity for Feb 2024 for east bay CRE purchase in your opinion?  

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, have a solid W2 job and a high credit score, and want to invest in SFH or a duplex in San Antonio or Raleigh (ok with neighboring cities). 

Purchase price: $255,000 Cash invested: $30,000 This is a duplex I found on the MLS in Palm Bay Florida.

By the way, I'm located in Summerville and work at the Cane Bay/Nexton Carolina One office. :) 

Areas like Bandon by the Sea Oregon for example, with one of the top public Golf Course's in the world, reminds me a lot of the Monterrey/Half Moon Bay Area and has attracted high net worth investors in recent years.

Rounding out the top 10 of affordable homeownership cities were Flint, Michigan; Toledo, Ohio; Detroit; Akron, Ohio; Warren, Michigan; Pittsburgh; Yuma, Arizona; Springfield, Illinois; and Palm Bay, Florida.
