New member in Bay Area California

[Philip Ng]

Hi, I am reading the book on "The book on Rental Property Investing" by Brandon Turner and that leads me to this site.  I just retired and I am interested in acquiring rental properties to supplement my cash flow.   I did one flip just prior to retirement.  But my interest is to buy and hold for income.  Hope I can learn from other members on this.  Thank you.

Thank you all for your suggestions!  They are very helpful.  I am not sure single or multifamily yet.

I need to decide on location and the price I can afford and the income it can generate.  I will research on the meet ups in this area.  I am glad I join BP.   Thank you!
