Jason at Hunter & Co. CPA's is the BEST!! He handles my real estate business and all the other complicated things I file and is extremely knowledgeable and reliable. He's in Walnut Creek but can work remotely if you're in the city or not nearby (hello Bay Area traffic!). You'll have to google them, they are on Alpine Rd since i can't post contact info here- please tell him I sent you and good luck! :)

SFR w/ no HOA in walking distance to Elementary School. 5 minute drive to major shopping/entertainment, 15 minutes to Walnut Creek. Originally a 3/1 single level (no steps to entry) on large, flat, private lot. Bonus room/master suite addition to rear of house could easily be sealed off with a single door and kitchenette installed for private rental/in-law unit. Nice up and coming neighborhood, good mix of fixers and renovations in area, family friendly.

FHA/VA Friendly.

Hey @Jill Rio! I work mostly in the 680 corridor, I can give you tips on best places to start looking depending on your goals and am happy to let you pick my brain. I work with a lot of investors and am currently working with a couple of other BP members as we speak :) 

@Raymond C. Hey Raymond! There are some really exciting (and major!) developments happening on the WC/Concord border and also an entire new city being planned at the former Concord Naval Weapons Station, which will surely positively impact the Concord housing market in the next few years. Concord is one of my absolute favorite places for investors in the East Bay (for @Ryan Hopkins and myself as well) and I am actually helping another BP member buy a SFR there as we speak. The HOA's can definitely be cash flow killers but each HOA varies so differently it's best analyzed on a case-by-case basis. As with most cities there are dodgy areas but that doesn't necessarily translate into a "bad" investment, rentals are in high demand here. Happy to share and connect if you'd like.

Welcome @April Zhang! My husband and I work together in the East Bay, I am a licensed agent and he is a contractor and architect. We are aspiring investors ourselves so we understand the numbers better than most professionals in our industries. I focus on identifying off market properties, partnering with investors and helping them sell for top dollar. For anyone getting started or curious about where to start investing in the Bay Area, we welcome your messages- love BP and happy to help likeminded folks!

@Raluca Ciobanu are you interested in a triplex? I know of one in Newark (w/tenants), duplex style on one half with attached third single-level unit and large flat lot ideal for live-in investor. If you are specifically looking for duplexes, send me a message - I have many that come through my contacts often times off-market. Thanks!
