@Ou Wang

Congrats on the house, making bold moves in a hot market is going out on a limb to say the least. As far as the solar goes, not the best situation. BUT could be worse, I’m sure you will figure it out. Good luck on your new home!!

@Rick Pozos I’m sorry that u think my post is a scam. You don’t know my life, you don’t know “how I came into said money” and u don’t know a clue about any of the statements that u spoke on. I would like to think people on this platform could help me out. My best friend is the one who turned me onto this forum. I appreciate the comments but keep the negativity off this thread if you could. 

I’m 29 years old, graduated from SFSU  (San Francisco State University) in 2019, Fall. I had lower back surgery in February 2020. I then took a job working for a dealership as a BDR (business development rep) AKA online sales, before COVID came along & shut everything down.

Scam? I don’t think so, but please like I asked keep the negative comments off of my thread. I would appreciate it very much.

I’m far from a scam & I hope anyone who has that criminal mindset/mentality should not be involved in a forum such as this. 

PS. I’m not even asking for anything, I’m asking for ADVICE. 🤦🏼‍♂️  perhaps I’ll fill out my credentials, maybe that’ll give prospective members more insight too who I am?

@Michelle Kotler  

@Scott Wolf

that doesn't sound like a bad idea actually. I will look into something along those lines. Thanks for the input!!

Hey guys, my name is Ben, I came into some money (in the title, 850k). I want to know what you guys think I should be doing with it. I graduated college in 2019 (older nonetheless, still graduated). I would like some advice or some input on putting together a deal. I lost my job this past October due to the pandemic. I am starting a new job on May 1st. I will be working for an Excavation construction company as a laborer. I have no overhead at the moment other than my cell phone, car insurance, gas, health insurance, etc. as I am currently living with my parents again. I lack the confidence at the moment to buy anything and feel that hopefully, I can gain that when I start working again. 

California is crazy as far as real estate prices go. I can't get much let alone pay the property taxes, on the said property if I did get anything.

BUT I need to put my money somewhere. 

Do you feel that there will be a real estate recession on the horizon? Within the next year or 2, thoughts? 

I want to move out as well when I start to get paychecks from my job, should I find a duplex or triplex to start?
