Thanks everyone for your feedback :)

Looking for advice on becoming a Real Estate Agent in California as well as an investor. I have a license in NJ / NY & PA which have been helpful. I’d like to fix & flip as well as buy and hold. I’m starting from scratch since I will be moving from NJ to California within the next 6 months. I am flying into San Francisco tomorrow and staying until the 28th. I’d love to hear some advice for networking groups, great markets for fix & flips and buy and holds and any other invaluable suggestions / advice you may have (besides not to invest in CA real estate lol) I have friend in San Diego, LA, and Dublin/Pleasanton area... just looking for any info on any markets in all of Cali. I’d like to stay in the warmer climate, non flood/fire areas lol near the beach with great flow of business going on as well as leisure. Any help is appreciated! I’m also open to any events that may be going on in the next week, I’ve actually never been to CA!

Well this sounds lovely....do you have more pictures?

I love all your questions and I am actively interviewing for jobs in the same area to do the same thing you are doing lol  so this post feels very close to home for me, thanks for sharing and asking all those questions!  Would love to connect and follow your journey. I've been networking with lots of CA people but have found one common denominator....that CA is EXPENSIVE lol but its all relative right.... send me a text or email!

Would love to see the property package as well [email protected]

I can recommend a great contractor who is a one stop shop for construction, new development, redesign etc. He owns his own company and has teams of contractors working for him. He has a show room as well, let me know if you are still looking.

Hi all, I am looking for advice for this situation I am in, or I should say my client is in..... Situation - She is closing on her house (pre-foreclosure) in Staten Island and getting $185k cash from the sale by end of October. - She 'wants' to find a 3 bedroom 'move in ready' place in a 'good neighborhood' that is close to Outerbridge Crossing because she still works in SI and her kids (~20-25yrs) go to school there. - She wants to buy all cash but doesn't mind a mortgage except her daughter would have to co-sign. - She's had tenants before and found it stressful and awful but still open to the idea. My Feedback - Buy a fixer upper 2 unit, 1 for your kids 1 for you and when they move you can rent it out and you'll have equity in your place and can repair your credit My Ignorance - Everything lol I know what I know and I don't know what I don't know, ya know? The Solution - This is where you kindly come in and say some crazy magical plan of how I can help this woman 1) not live in a poor neighborhood because of price 2) sacrifice quality because of money/ financial ignorance 3) repair her credit, start over and set her up with a nice foundation to build on. What do you suggest a person does to maximize the return on cash in this situation? I am showing her houses today .... and today is also her birthday! I just want to wrap up a solution in pretty birthday paper and tie it with a bow that has keys to her new money maker dangling from it while singing her happy birthday al way through closing.... help!

Saeryon Park I can recommend someone for you if you'd like!
