Hi Nicholas,

Thank you for the advice! One of my best friends fathers is a very successful real estate investor in San Francisco/Bay Area as well as a few of my dads work buddies. I’ve set up multiple coffee meetings to pick there brains and ask how they started and for advice. The only issue is I work 40+ hours a week at a tech company in SF so it is difficult to find a time to network/learn about the industry and what I should be doing to get into this market.

I would love to connect offline @Nicholas Ameluxen!

Best,

Colin

@Kevin Dean

I really appreciate the advice. As someone who lives in San Francisco, what areas do you think are the most attractive at the moment?

I’m a young and ambitious 22 year old fresh out of college. I’ve been wanting to get into real estate since high school but never took the initiative to take classes. I’m currently working full time at a tech company but want to transition into real estate when I’m older. My situation in different as I have the capital to begin purchasing properties but I do not have the experience of guidance needed to do this properly.

Would it be in my best interest to save as much as I can and learn as much as I can until I’m older? Or should I start as young as I can to get ahead of the curve? I’ve also been made aware that it is not the best time to buy since we’ve been on an upward trend for the last 10 years and a correction seems in sight. I would greatly appreciate all personal and professional advice and insights on my situation. Thank you!
