Newbie from Mountain View in San Francisco Bay Area

[Micah M.]

Hi Guys: My name is Micah and I live in Mountain View, CA in the "South" part of the Bay Area. I'm the VP of Finance at a venture backed startup in South San Francisco. 

I just joined to begin the process of getting up to speed on getting into my first property. I plan to begin aggressively looking for properties in the spring, esp. 2-5 unit "house hacking" opportunities.  I will be targeting the Redwood City to Millbrae corridor on the Peninsula, though may consider going further North as well (e.g. Brisbane) or more exotic (e.g. Pacifica). 

Not ready for any service provider intro's at this time, but if anyone else is scratching the same itch on the investor/developer side of things, could be fun to touch base and compare notes. 

Look forward to learning more in the months to come!

Warm Regards,

Micah

@Micah M. welcome to BP.  The BA has a ton of great BP folks.  The area you are looking at is a great niche.  Try to get out to the local meet ups, @Johnson H. has one down in Milpitas and @Jeff Pollack has one down in San Jose.  Both of these meet up have been around for a long time.  There are also some up in SF and Oakland.

Good luck to you,

Arlen
