My wife and I are planning a move to Marin County in 2026, and we’re actively prepping to buy a small multifamily to househack - ideally 2–4 units, with the goal of buying another property in 1-1.5 years and cash flowing after we move out from the first one.We’re targeting:- Timeline: early 2026- $500-800k, possibly stretching higher if the deal makes sense- 5% down conventional- Class B to C+ neighborhoods in Marin, Sonoma, or nearby East Bay- Ideally some value-add upsideThe plan is to build some equity and appreciation, repeat, and branch into out-of-state investing.

Those that are in the 13-20 year age group are going to get a little knocked down but not too bad.

Located in West Orange Texas and just a mile from the new Chevron Refinery that is being built.

Here is a video from years back of a neighborhood of some Fixer triplexes.

No, not in my area.

Quote from @Justin Unck: Hi Scott, thank you, while we are located in Sacramento, the property in question is in Mendocino on the coast. 

I just listed a duplex of mine in West Little River and went pending in 3 days with 2 offers right away

I am an investor-friendly Realtor and investor in Columbus, OH, but I also serve in Cleveland.

Lots of opportunity out there in the multifamily space.
