I'm also from Covina but live in the bay area now, best of luck in the journey!

I’m from Half Moon Bay, and I love Capitola.

Looking for a Real Estate LLC Attorney in the SF Bay Area?

I'm on the opposite side of the Tampa Bay Area from you.

The property is a tri-plex in a small, lesser known town outside of the SF Bay Area.

East Bay- it is common to leave vacant 2-3 months these days. 

this is an auction .com property subject to overbid.. the chances of you getting this for that price are slimnot only that you will need non refundable EM of at least 3% and you have to close in the name that the contract is in.. no assignments this keeps the wholesalers at bay.. properties just don't sell that deep of discount in the uber hot Portland market.. at least not on MLS  heck lots sell for 100 to 150 k with nothing on them :)

If you're in the bay area, would be happy to treat you to lunch or dinner for any good reccomendations :)Preferably someone who is an investor themselves, we're looking for a small multifamily unit in Oakland or the East Bay ~600k.Thanks in advance! 

I get the sense that an owner occupied 2-4 unit property might be the strongest real estate investment for me in the Bay Area, if I use an FHA loan and find the right property.
