This is what it takes to build houses everywhere else.I agree houses can be at 600 a sq ft but that includes the cost of land etc which is probably very significant in the Bay Area.

I would be very interested to meet with anyone else from the Bay Area if you have some free time to go for coffee or a lunch.Thanks!

Sold for 75k under asking, which is ridiculous in the Bay area.

David Greene and I are both out of state investors and love educating those on the process, we hold monthly free seminars in the bay area if you are interested in attending, please let me know, we are here to help!

I am looking CPA and RE attorney in Bay Area in order to structure, plan my partnerships and tax knowledge.

There is no way I could afford to live in the Bay area even if I wanted to.I actually do have enough cash outside my 401k to fund the first flip, but in my current market, it may well take months to find a deal.

As a Bay Area resident I see the affordability disparity on a daily basis.

Nola is beautiful but also a stepping stone and it looks like the next promotion at my company would be to Tamp Bay / St Pete, Florida area, in 18 - 24 months, so that's where I'm more likely to invest.What I'm interested in:(1)  buying and living in a 3- or 4-family bldg(2)  buying and living in a 5- or more fam bldg - but what sort of creative financing would I need to make that happen?

I think I found a good 2br/2bath unit, furnished with a long canal/bay view in a 10 unit complex.

I have a number of clients from the bay area that have found success in Fresno.
