I would prefer the attorney to be in Silicon Valley between Palo Alto and Sunnyvale.

I'm a commercial real estate broker that focuses on the Peninsula/Silicon Valley and I have experience working in San Mateo.

I own my home in Silicon Valley.

I was working with silicone caulk, so I had a box of nitrile gloves in my toolbag.

I've been in the stock market for a few decades.)Real estate is absurdly expensive here in Silicon Valley, and residential rental property doesn't cash flow well at all.

SabrinaAfter a long real estate career in Silicon Valley, I moved to Greenville 3.5 years ago and have been actively investing near downtown Greenville - both flips and long term rental holds.

I can't justify buy and hold in the silicon slope area without taking on a lot of risk.

And then it comes down to regions  some regions you can do the landlording gig. look at all these 30 somethings that have built up nice portfolios mainly in the mid west.. you can do that there when your price points are where they are at basically the cost of new cars. however that becomes much more difficult in the coast markets.. and those folks can also buy a nice home to live on for 200k  were in Silicon valley its 2 million  !! 

Here’s some of the numbers I’ve been getting:Demo: 6500 + Dumpsters (395/40yd probably need 3 40’s)Roof: 6910 (real bid, replace some sheathing, repair penetrations, repair gutter, spray entire roof with 100% silicone roofing sealant (the white stuff that’s UV reflective).Tuckpointing: 4500 (back wall of property about 5’ wide and the entire 2 stories needs tuckpointing)Plans: 5000Permits: 2000Framing: 27000 (this I think is insane, but hard to tell without knowing what walls need to be moved/reframed) What’s a good cost on framing in St.

They have worked for me in the past with technology as I worked in the Silicon Valley my whole career before Real Estate.
