Hi @Sarah Picha

I work with a CPA who mostly deals with real estate professionals, entrepreneurs etc. Her company is in San Marcos although just about everything now is done remotely. Feel free to connect and I will provide her contact info. Thanks!

@Jen Hoang

If they are old but still working I wouldn't replace them.

Hi @Kyle Fairbanks

In order to find something in that area ~450k it's going to either be condo or maybe a detached home that needs a lot of work and probably won't qualify for financing. You could find a hard money lender, pay cash and BRRRR or flip it.Are you working with an agent or giving this a shot on your own?

Hi Christian,

Are you unable to pass the electric expense along to the tenants?

Hi @David Antunes

I work with a CPA/Tax Strategist and she could give you information regarding the tax info. I also have the name of a good real estate attorney that has an office here in Solana Beach. Reach out to me and I can provide you with their information. 

Hi @Josh S. Welcome to Bigger Pockets!

Little Italy or North Park. With low inventory I would like to have more than one area to choose from and would get aggressive when I found a deal.

Hi @Tyler Elmore welcome to BP! You found the right place to be as a new investor. On Bigger Pockets you literally have access to 1000's of people with varying levels of experience. I'm a local realtor and investor here in San Diego and you can reach out anytime. 

Nice @Sarah Blesse! I recommend the "love letter" to all of my buyer clients. It's great to hear of examples like this. We did a live in flip a few years ago and it also did very well for us. Are you planning on doing another one?

Hi @Sarah Dudley

Welcome to BP nice to meet you on here. House hacking is a great way to get started investing in real estate. Lots of good neighborhoods to choose from between the 52 and the 94.

Hi @Amir Hemmat
