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

A great real estate metric to live by is the stabilized yield on cost which essentially takes into account the value added to your real estate once it is up and running/stabilized.

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.

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

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

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?  

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

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?
