Do you want to be a house hacker in Oakland and buy a multi-family property to live in one unit and rent the others to pay for your expenses? Or do you need a vacant Oakland property for a 1031 exchange?
These Oakland Multi-family properties are in neighborhoods that most likely qualify for the First Republic Eagle Community Home Loan as long as one unit is owner occupied.
