If you decide to take in San Francisco I would recommend A drive to the Napa Valley Wine country, pretty time of the year there. You might also enjoy a trip over to Sausalito and some hiking in the Pt Reyes National Seashore.

Thank you Karen. I know that sometimes the Dept of Real Estate gets a bit touchy

So another question for one of my fellow California investors. First, I am not really seeking legal advice. I realize that most of you on BP are not attorneys just need any non-binding, non-legal input I can get. First I am not a Real Estate Broker or even a licensed Agent at this point nor am I a licensed investment person. I am wondering if California has any restrictions on my using the words Properties or Investments in the name of my company considering the above information about myself. I also realize the Investments title may run into the Sec's jurisdiction. Thanks for any input that you may have.

Hello Nicole,

Welcome both to BiggerPockets and California.

I suppose I should further qualify this question to investors doing probate in California, as that is where I am. I recently went to my county Probate Court clerks office and ask for a list of probates in the county and they looked at me as if I was from a different planet. They informed me that they do not provide that information. I then remembered our local Business Journal and found that they have Probate postings, what I found was something titled NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF..., is this what i am looking for? It does not seem to contain any specific information about Real Estate, Just the name of the deceased and the persons administering the estate along with the attorney.

With the New Year comes new goals and new adventures. My wife and I have decided to start an investing business and are launching this business in 2015. We will be starting by Wholesaling properties and hope to expand at some point in time to Buy and Hold. I am finding BiggerPockets to be a goldmine of information. Hope to be able to pick many brains as I learn this business.
