When I lived in San Diego, I had to buy my investment properties out of state because I was outpriced for anything local. 

I manage 17 properties in San Antonio.  

I am searching in San Diego and Orange County areas.

I am attempting to build a new house in san francisco, Ca . 

From looking at a lot of areas like San Francisco to qualify for a DSCR loan you would have to put down a 50% or more down payment. 

@Eric Crump I work out of San Antonio and wholesale.

San Antonio / Central Texas should be some solid areas for BRRRR strategy - I'd be a little careful in the gulf coast areas like Beaumont though - a lot of weather risks that unfortunately keep popping up

Does anyone know good real estate groups and investing clubs in the san francisco area.  

Idea 6: Wait until your market is so insanely hot and has low inventory like San Francisco, oh and a "Not In My Backyard" mentality...
