Hi An, I’m in the Bay Area and have experience flipping in the Peninsula. I just PM’d you.

I'll be there!

Interested in the details, just messaged you. 

Hey @Hannah Walker, 

Based on your situation, my opinion is that you should wait for the market to correct before you buy here and/or invest out of state. I have several friends that live in rent controlled units in SF and have given them similar advice. 

The SF market is SUPER hot and I honestly don't think it will last. You have the opportunity to leverage a little debt and put your money to work out of state where there's some potential for great returns. 

@Tommy Hoang I'm very interested in your strategy. Would love to connect locally if you're open to it. 

Hi everyone! I'm also interested in meeting up in the future. Very interested in investing out of state as well.

Hi @Chrissy Parsons, I sell real estate full time so I typically send marketing postcards to the same neighborhoods. It's a geographic list, we market to that neighborhood because of turnover ratio.

This person decided to sell to me directly because his home was in horrible shape and it wouldn't have shown well on the open market. He owned multiple properties and lived out of state. I offered him cash but part of the deal was that I had to get rid of all the junk at the house so he didn't have to come back to California. Turned out to be 6 truckloads! In the end it worked out for both of us :)
