I work remotely, I'm not attached to any physical location and looking to start my real-estate investing journey by acquiring cash flowing multi-families (probably residential as opposed to commercial to begin with, with a possibility of house-hacking with an FHA loan).Currently I live in San Francisco (renting) and if I keep this up I'll probably need to sell one of my kidneys :-\I'm looking to move to a different market (don't care how far / hot / cold) to actually live in, get a true feel for it, research it from the inside out, specialize in it and most importantly operate locally.I've done a lot of "general" homework - watched a ton of podcasts, read many books and analyzed some online data so I know what areas people and experts are talking about and developed some opinions - but at the same time I know that market attractiveness is very dynamic and subjective.So if YOU were in my situation and had to choose one market that you believe will provide the best upside for cash flow TODAY - what is it?

Come up with my rent,Or go and get bent,You're the tenant I picked,I don't want to evict,I know that you're stuck,Three days' notice will suck,I just can't let you sit,You must pay up or quit.No, I won't let you be,Go sell your kidney,I know when to say when,Turn off your mother's oxygen,Put you out in the snow,At fifteen below,Kick you both to the curb,You'll no longer disturb,The sleep of my wife,I'm sick of the strife,JUST GET OUT OF MY LIFE!!!

Maybe fifteen grand to the right guy with the right connection, and he'd be in a wheelchair with ruined kidneys for the rest of his miserable life.

Thats not happening no matter how bad they want the house unless they sold a kidney on the black market.

how much do kidneys go for these days?

If you're not willing to give the seller both of your kidneys, you're probably not getting your offer accepted. 

If  I was starting out now....I don't know....sell a kidney? 

I have an adult child with kidney failure. 

I know he’s slowed because his kidneys shut down and he was in ICU for 2 weeks, but if he’s going to stay on the job I need it done.

I got type 2 diabetes and kidney failure passed down, so I had to slow everything down in my biz until I had to close up until I’m patched  up.
