Buy Box:- Creative deals only subject to deal - < $600,000- >2000 sqft living space- No HOA- As many bedrooms as we can get - At least 2 bathrooms- ADUs are a huge plus- Cosmetic rehab is preferred but will entertain light rehabs under $10k.- Close to transit preferred- Close to jobs/shopping

The lot with the house on it sells for $550-900k depending on location, house size, etc. 

Actually for the people living here, it has become VERY UNaffordable.

I see rentals go from 150 - 450 / night depending on a site and condition of a place and season.

We would plan to “live and flip” (live in it for 2 years to avoid capital gains) while we rent our current home. 

I have been successfully renting out 3 rooms in my single family home while living in the unfinished basement for a little over two years now.

You can keep trying as it is possible to get different results depending on who you talk to, however I do not think it is worth the energy. 

At the time, we were living in our other duplex.

It depends on your remaining entitlement.

I don't live in the US and I don't have another income in the US (such as employment or earned income), but I have a property that was rented starting in September 2023.
