Real Estate Investing in the Bay Area

[Account Closed]

I have so many questions, I don’t know where to start.

-what’s best location that’s affordable for a first investment property? (I’m from/located in the East Bay)

-Financing and downpayment! Do I have to put down 20%? Is $50-75k a decent amount to put down on a house these days?

-how do you finance renovations for a fixer upper? If I use most of my money on downpayment where does the rest of the money come from? Additional loans?
