With the respect that all humans and in addition our elders, deserve.Quoting a line from Fried Green Tomatoes "I'm old, I'm not a child."

I am very familiar with that property - lived there since young child/worked/currently own properties in area.

Unless you really believe the Ann Arbor market will appreciate drastically in the next few years, or plan to move back or have a child move in or similar, I think you may find better appreciation (especially if willing to accept cash negative or similar) in the San Diego market. 

It may sound bad, but it's similar to a parent/child relationship.  

I was invested in multi-family, but like ss much better because it's just steel and concrete...the tenants can't damage it and no one ever calls me at 6am complaining that their child flushed a toy down the toilet like you get in multi-family.

Undecided if I will self-manage or hire a property manager.I've been excluding all lease-hold condos from my search, but on second thought, maybe it makes sense?

Now that I have a child I am subbing most of the work out.

Househacking a large 4-8 bedroom single family home is just as good, and deals on those properties are much more readily available than small multi-families.Are you considering investing here, out of state, or undecided?

I'd just have to check that applicable child-labor laws to make sure its all kosher :).

I have about $75k with about another $40k by the end of 2021 but am undecided on where to focus my efforts...
