Just closed my first deal! In the Bay Area!

I recently closed on a 4-unit multi-family complex in Oakland, CA. After about 12 months of studying and another 6 months of placing offers (I was out-bid on about 20 places), the stars finally aligned and I was able to complete the deal. I'll be "house-hacking" the property and making various improvements to the unit I'll be occupying as well as the building facades, and backyard. Closing my first deal in the fiercely competitive Bay Area seemed impossible at times, but persistence paid off! Already looking for the next project ;). 

Thanks @Joshua Dorkin and @Brandon Turner for all of the free, brilliant content in this community. It has truly changed my life and put me on the road to financial independence. 

Private message me for details about the deal if you're interested. I'd love to connect and partner with other investors in the area doing the same thing.
