Welcome! Always good to see more folks from the SF area.

Email threads are probably a quick and easy way to get started; we can probably start there and see what happens.

Love it, I am definitely in.

Thanks for the advice! It didn't really occur to me to look elsewhere than the city, so that's definitely an option worth exploring.

As for SF, there doesn't seem to be much I can do when the average place costs over $1M - it doesn't look like I'm able to get financing at the moment for that.

I've recently moved to the SF Bay Area for work and am very interested in getting involved as a passive real estate investor. The downside is that it is a very expensive market, and I don't have a lot of capital. I'm here for at least 2 years, so I'm trying to decide between two options:

1) Save up some cash, then move to another city where my capital can go a lot further.

2) Stay in SF for the longer term, and get started immediately learning the ins and outs of real estate investing and building a network.

#1 is good because I have more capital to get going, but #2 gives me an extra 2 years of experience and networking. What are your thoughts? Thanks!

Thanks Scott! I'll definitely be spending some time reading through these articles and chatting in the forum.

Hello all! I'm an engineer, recently moved into the SF bay area. Traditionally I've been big into stocks and other more liquid assets, but a couple years ago I hired a guy who was a former house-flipper. He told a good number of interesting stories about the topic, and so I am here to learn more about it!
