I moved from NorCal to live and invest in Reno, NV because I still wanted to be close to the Bay Area but wanted to have much more favorable landlord/tenant laws, low property taxes (that don't reassess on the sale), consistent diversified job growth, and land constraints for higher appreciation.

First Time Investment : Duplex->Triplex/4plex conversion

Taking away the garage from the existing tenants will lower the rents on those units.Currently they are:4 bed 2 bath rent = $2,000 3 bed 1.5 bath rent = $1,600I think the 4 bed 2 bath is the one with the partial conversion, and three units might look like:3 bed 1.5 bath = Rent $1,500 (no garage)1 bed 1 bath = Rent $1,1003 bed 1.5 bath with garage = $1,600Don’t be misled by the 6.6 cap rate in the listing, they are just using gross rents which is incorrect. 30% (25% expenses and 5% vacancy is standard in our market), and this is really a 4.7% cap rate.
