Hello,I’m considering the purchase of a duplex in San Francisco that is currently tenant-occupied.My goal is to occupy the larger top unit through an owner move-in eviction and share both the garage and backyard with the downstairs tenant while keeping their rent flat.

But you will never be more comfortable and be able to handle more curveballs than in your own backyard.

Just like in baseball, base hits are just as good.I wish you all the best.

It doesn't matter if it is real estate or baseball cards, get to know the products and stay close to what is happening.  

My dilemma is that I live in a very expensive market, and it’s been tough to find a property that offers good value and allows for positive cash flow.Here’s where I could use your advice:Do I keep searching locally in my backyard (where my W2 job is, and where living in the property would allow me to use the VA loan for house hacking)?

The bathrooms were torn out, kitchen was wrecked and there was no flooring.Success Story 2 ⭐️Another win in Fernley, NV: a seller with a messy home, chickens in the backyard, and a deployment deadline.

I’ve learned so much from other investors.As for “where” the hottest market is for a STR, it might literally be in your own backyard if you do your homework and find the right deal!

Quote from @Jean Pierre Jabo: my wife and i bought a unit last year in 2024. home is a 4 bd 2 bth, comes with a detached ADU unit thats 1 bed one bath with separate backyard that we currently rent for $1545 longterm. our interest rate is high, 7.1%. our mortage is about 3600 but adding PMI and other costs its total of $4k/month. we both make a combined income of $220k. should we try to move to another primary residence home about $480k and rent out our current main home for about 2300-2400 (fair market pricing for the area). or should we stay in our home and refinance and live there for a year and then move later?
