Looking for a RE mentor in the Bay (crosspost from Starting Out)

[Max McNally]

Hey fellow investors, I'm looking into getting started in Real Estate in the CA Bay Area, and I really don't know what steps to take. I've looked into house hacking, multifamily BRRR, fix and flips, and I can't seem to get the numbers to work in any of them. I decided to try and get my feet wet by buying an out of state multiplex, which I'm in the middle of right now. It seems to look pretty good, and I like the numbers, but I really want to be able to do deals locally. Is anyone willing to meet up and give me some insight? My current strategy is to get some cash flow from out of state multifamilies, and turn it into a house hack next year. I will gladly buy a beer or two for a seasoned investor that would be willing to take me under their wing. Thanks in advance!
