I'm in the Tahoe Reno, NV market used to live in SLO CA and still have family down in LA and Temecula.  

I've narrowed in on some areas I personally enjoy and at first glance seem like they would be good STR markets in the PNW where I live.

We don't have a W2 and live on rental income.

A lot of Delta Air Lines employees opt to live south of the city for easy access & less traffic to reach the airport.

I feel as though I'm a bit priced out of the multifamilies here (at least in the towns I want to live in). 

Your title implied that you might not do that step.To your question, I think the first factor I had always taken into consideration is: do you live in the house?  

Hi Rigel,Welcome to the forums - I'm new here as well.House hacking is a great way to start - I'm not the first one to say this, but you have to live somewhere, so you may as well get a start on investing while you're at it.

Do you plan to live in one of the units or prefer to keep it fully as an investment?

Hi all,Can I use a FHA loan on a small multifamily (2-4 units), as long as I live in one of the units for at least 12 months?

Hi, I have a fully renovated house in Arizona for which I am looking for a residential assisted living operator to lease to.
