@Johnson H. and @David C. have been encouraging me to put some materials together to present and share with local folks on how lucrative investing in the Bay Area could be.

(Please note: if you are changing windows, siding, porch posts, porch structure, and any other major exterior changes ...get ready to paid more money $100.00 and meet the UDC -Urban Design Commission in which they meet twice a month to review your exterior changes for an approval, non-approval or defer which means more waiting before you get to the finish line which is your building permit for your rehab6.

There is money going into the city but a lot of the properties in that area can have a good amount of deferred maintenance.

I just hope that some of you, our most prominent forum members, can provide actionable advice as part of that feedback, or just let me know if the frustrations are from things done in 2023, 2022, or before, or are present-day outputs of BP. 

If someone cold called you to present a c-host, with zero experience, how would you respond?

Consider selling in +10 years when there's deferred maintenance you can pass on to someone else, per @Jay Hinrichs insights.
