Not trying to cast a lot of doom and gloom on what is intended to be a very kind and generous gift but I'd hate to see anyone let along a newbie investor get stuck with a bag of worms right from the get go.

It's very therapeutic and you might find beautiful hardwood under that carpet.

I like taking something disdressed and making it beautiful again.

The morning started off with investors from all over the US slowly meandering their way into the massive masonic Scottish Rites Temple sitting off the shores of beautiful Lake Merritt in downtown Oakland.

Looking to provide independent way of life for myself in "giving homes back their beauty" 

Beautiful rehabs right around the corner.

This home is beautiful, it has an estimated value of $360,000 per a residential/commercial appraiser I initially hired and is contracted at $279,000.

I have unlimited use of a professional, well managed office with beautiful conference rooms, high end technology,etc.

It's a beautiful city with good quality of life, and prices are much lower than the DC area. 

You learn pretty quickly how to get around on the roads that wind through the beautiful hills and avoid the masses of humanity in Maryland Farms and Cool Springs.
