Investing in the San Francisco Bay Area and looking beyond

[Ricardo Fainsilber]

I'm a new member. I have been investing in the San Francisco Bay area for a few years, I would love to continue building my portfolio there, but good deals are hard to come by now. The numbers are too high and the returns not so great. I'm interested in diversifying into multi-family residential in more affordable markets that offer good returns. Also, as foreign investor, financing is more restricted, but depending on cash flow alone to buy cash is too slow a strategy. Suggestions?
