South Bay MTR Arbitrage

Hello all,

My fiance and I recently moved to the Bay Area and are currently under contract for our first primary home together.

My real estate experience is relatively low with a single LTR under my belt and looking for ways to grow. According to Furnished Finder, there's a shortage of MTRS available within the South Bay and a strong demand to match. 

While I don't have Bay Area capital to purchase my properties, the idea of MTR Arbitrage seems fitting. That said, I'm unfamiliar with the market and would love to meet with other investors who are finding some success (and mishaps) to help refine my game plan.


If there are any REI meets ups please let me know!

Thanks in Advance!
