consider proximity to an airport wit reasonable fares,  Manty and Trivers (local speak) are a Hike to Milwaukee Airport, and Green Bay is quite expensive to fly out of. just a thought, Unless you fall into a great deal, a $50-70K 4plex is gona be pretty rough,  both in condition and location, get familiar with the areas, and if you do settle in Manty, Just remember its Cooler Near the Lake, not sunglasses and board shorts cooler, like 50 degrees in late June, and 20 miles west its 80 degrees. just considerations.  

I'm looking forward to meeting some other serious investors in the Bay Area.  

I am interested in investing in single-family and multi-family rentals in San Francisco and the East Bay.  

@Kevin Manz I'm looking for one in the Tampa Bay Area.

Bay Area crew is super active and friendly, don't hesitate to reach out to anyone. 

My business partner (my brother who lives in San Francisco Bay Area) have saved up a solid amount of money and want to make a purchase where one of us will be local to help manage.

Unless your in a market like the Bay area were you pay 1.5 mil for the lot and build a nice spec for 200 a foot say 3k feet for 600k  and have 2.1 in it and sell for 2.9  which is common the 15% of project cost work.but if your in a market were lot is 100k   build is 200k and end product say is 350k.. and you pay 30k to the builder that is far to much by double.we hire for flat fee if we are financing the whole job and they are simply acting as GC and have no monetary involvement.  10 to 15k a door. is what we pay.. and if we are so inclined there can be a bonus if we do real well.hope that helps.. careful to tag your jobs to % of gross construction costs you may not like were you end up.

Any advice on how to locate the properties in the South Florida market and/or Tampa Bay Area is appreciated.

I went to one meetup last year (not SJREI) but it was mainly the organizer pushing his services in wholesaling out of state properties.If anyone can recommend a good Bay Area organization, I would greatly appreciate it.

If anyone can recomend a firm in the Bay Area or California that would be great.
