Why wouldn’t you buy? It’s been the most sustained real estate market of the last thirty years.

By a multi unit place 2-4. Get an FHA loan. You’ll have your mortgage payment covered by renters and won’t need a lot down on the purchase.

There's a special loan you can get where you basically never expect to pay it off. I think interest only. It's how a partner I know was able to buy a decent home

Don’t buy . Unless you are a partner and work in Facebook

Stupid to buy in SF. Buy elsewhere, build equity.

EY3 and D2 have not looked at appreciation of the SF real estate market. Quite the opposite is true.

I’m 25 and have found a duplex I’m considering purchasing as a rental property. Planning on renting both units and have the cash to make the down payment without an issue. My cash flow analysis has a payback period of 3 years for my down payment and a 13 year payback period for the whole investment. I think financially it makes sense. My question is, is it realistic for a 25 year old young professional to handle dealing with all the extra curricular’s that come with owning a rental property ?
