Thank you guys, considering a 700k entry point, what areas in Oakland would you suggest? I also thought of house hacking, and keeping a tenant or even renting a duplex, does that make sense financially in the area?

Thank you,

Oded.

Hi All,

I'm a bit new to the area but have a lot of experience as a RE investor in Ohio. Planning to move to the bay, I'm trying to learn more about investments that make sense around the bay. The parameters I'm looking at are:

Safety: A relatively safe neighborhood where I can trust getting rent and having my renovation project completed.

Cash-flow: A sustainable investment where there's a healthy balance between houses-prices, taxes, and rental income.

Budget: A good entry-level of about 500k tops for house values (I've seen quite a lot of those in Oakland).

I'm looking to start on the right foot, can anyone point me in the right direction and also maybe give concrete investment examples?

Many thanks,

Oded.

Hi

I saw that there a good discussion here about Flip fee to agents, and I wanted to take the discussion to another zone that concerns me.

As a wholesaler I wish to know how to work with an agent on a wholesale deal. If the agent finds a deal and than helps me to find a buyer, to which we assign the deal. Should there be any double commission involved? Or just a good incentive for the agent for helping me assigning the property again?

What I do is pay a good bonus. But i'm not sure how's the right way to do it...

Thanks!
