Meanwhile for half the sale price of one 1200 sq. ft. 3/2 townhome on the Peninsula I could purchase 3 4-unit multifamilies on mortgage, each grossing about $50k/year in rents.
Will the appreciation of these properties be the same as that townhome? Almost certainly not. But money has time value, and the ancillary costs of ownership in CA are far greater.
