That said, valuations have been so astronomical for years, it may still be a tough sandbox to play in.To your questions:1) Home value for money, regulatory environment, local economy, low exogenous risk (i.e. natural disasters) and available, capable management nearby.2) Yes, but you are going to need management, good systems, and you are going to have to buy things that cashflow with some cushion.

The biggest tip I can tell you is to find where the old people live, like a lot of old people, then find the homes that are just wrecked, count them and keep the addresses handy, you'll then want to find a piece a land or a lot nearby that can accommodate a 10-12 unit complex.

@Kathleen Contreras  We actually have a coffee meetup every month in Delray, however, lately we've been meeting over Zoom and bringing our own coffee.

Where one bank might deny you, another might give you a warm embrace and a cup of coffee.

One question was asking me what streets were nearby where I live, and none of them were..Also to answer your other question.

My lot being across the street doesn't have quite that luxury, but nearby houses are selling for $350-500k. 

Any reason to prioritize nearby states vs. those further away?

We all know companies come and go. when things go bad, people are let go. if you get laid off and there are no other options nearby, you might have to come back to where jobs are.I can see people moving to cheaper nearby areas such as Eastbay and down to Gilroy.
