This is first because the only home owners who lose over the long term in markets like SF are those that stretch too far financially and are forced to sell at the wrong time or give it back to the bank.Beyond that, I'd identify the sub-markets that seem to have the types of properties you need in budget.

The house hacking idea is good because it allows you to live for free and save money for downpayments but I don't think you should necessarily look at it as a flip.I find that duplexes or other small multi-family don't make great flips because it is harder to force appreciation with them like you can with single family homes.

If someone else uses that mark, you can force them to stop and seek damages.

I think it is well known banking secret that they don't foreclose quickly or evict quickly because they have a property manager/security force living in the home.

Then the occupant would be able to defend against the automatic writ of possession (even when they didn't do what they were required to do), and we would be forced to institute a whole new eviction action.

You still have to cash flow or you will go bankrupt and be forced to sell.

Since Title changes hands in a Wrap, he would be forced to foreclose if either loan defaulted, if he so chose.

No financing forces you to be creative with your purchases.

A lower occupancy complex with some deferred maintenance is an opportunity for huge upsides to forced appreciation.

As soon as you start to show it, they will start to look for a new place to live.They might wait until spring if you don't force their hand.Would you have to reduce rent in order to get a new tenant?
