San Francisco: Making it Work

[Ethan Cooke]

I am fairly new to BiggerPockets and really excited to network with other BP investors, especially in the San Francisco Bay Area. I would love to speak with folks who have experience in multifamily properties in northern CA, wholesaling, effective direct mailings and creative financing. Please introduce yourself and let's share experiences, goals and successes.

I am a real estate investor, father, husband and HR Director. My goal is to use real estate to put my two daughters through college and to achieve financial freedom in the next 5-8 years. Two years ago my wife and I bought a compact, 5BR single-family investment home in San Francisco, which has worked out well with positive cash flow. Then about 6 months ago we refinanced our primary home to get a down payment on another single-family investment home in SF, which we are rehabbing to rent out in February/March. 

I am looking for ways to accelerate this journey and to help others, and I realize that I need a great network of mentors and partners to do it. Thanks in advance for reaching out.
