@brendachen

Hey Jonathan and Brenda, do you know if SF meetups are still taking place? Hard for me to get to the east bay as i live in the South Bay, so hoping that there is something in SF that i could attend after work. Thx.

@Ashley Cao

Hey Ashley - are you familiar with any South Bay meetups on OOS investments?

@Andrew S.

Hello all. Curious if y’all know of any South Bay meetups or groups? Looking to network with folks that live in the area. My current interests are out of market investments, so am especially keen to connect with people of similar interest/goals. Thx.

Cool. Nothing posted to my thread yet, but who knows. Here’s a quick link to it https://www.biggerpockets.com/topics/773435

@Robert Pfenninger I started a thread on key metrics to look at in a potential market. That’s where I am starting, as I’m convinced that collecting a bunch of metrics from different sources is a good first filter to deciding where to do deeper research.

Hello. We’ve been investing in our local market for several years now and are looking to diversify our portfolio. We are starting to research other markets, which feels daunting considering ‘any’ market could be a potential market. We are starting to pull market condition numbers like employment rate change, vacancy rates, income rate change, etc. as the first pass before diving deep into a city to look at specific neighborhood data. Of course we could search on google for “what are the top real estate investment markets in 2020”, but that’s too ubiquitous. So I’m curious what other market metrics you would recommend looking at for high level market opportunity research. Thank you.
