Multi-Family Investing in Oakland, CA (affordable housing based)

[Claratisha Davis]

Hi, 

I am a newbie investor (or wanna-be) that is looking to get a few units under my belt this year. Being an Oakland native and also an affordable housing property manager,  I would like to start investing in Oakland and then branch out to southern states such as Texas, Georgia, Mississippi and Louisiana. I am willing to network with investors and the like in any market however. 

I am looking for any advice one has to offer as far as creative financing, hard money lending, multi-family properties, first time investing (especially when you're low on funds). 

If there is a multi-family investor that would like to become an effective mentor, please do not hesitate to respond. 

I look forward to speaking with all of you!

Hi Claratisha, 

As a native Californian who invests in Mississippi, after having taught at Jackson State University for twenty years, I'd be happy to help you when you are ready to spread your wings. You can buy a house for cash there that wouldn't even be a good down payment in Oakland.
