@Account Closed wow! thank you so much for your post and your advice, it is very much appreciated. Initially, my thought was the same - buying a 4 unit. Since these are incredibly hard to find, do you have a recommendations as what site I should use? I am not a real estate agent and do not have access to the MLS. Currently I have been browsing loop net to spot any good properties. Now thinking about it, would it just be easier finding these fourplexes using an agent?

Also, If you have any free time please let me take you to lunch (on me) to discuss the neighborhood and dealing with rental properties or even if you need some assistance on your rental properties I would love the learn the basics and gain some experience (obviously no charge).

Multi duplex in South Bay $1M, triplex $1.5M, 4 plex $2M.  I will avoid Richmond, downtown Oakland all together.

 Thank you for your advice! Are there any areas you would recommend? or is it best to wait a few more years to start investing?

Hi Everyone, I am a aspiring investor -mostly interested in rental properties. I am hoping to make my first purchase in about 6 months using an FHA loan on a multifamily property. However, I recently moved to the Bay Area, and was wondering if anyone could give me any advice on what neighborhoods I should be looking at? I currently reside in Richmond and work in San Francisco, so I was thinking it should be about 45 minutes (give or take 10 minutes) outside the city. Also, if there's any chance you live in the Bay Area, let's go grab a cup of coffee (on me) and chat about Real Estate sometime, I would really like to learn about my new neighborhood. Thanks for letting me pick your brain!
