I have always had a passion for real estate from watching HGTV to DIY missions.  

Of course, prices in the city are insane--families are looking at areas such as Mission Terrace, Outer Richmond/sunset, Glen Park areas to live. 2) Out of state investing is not as scary as it sounds--go visit a market or two, connect with people from those markets on BP, and you'll find out that there's not a lot of barriers to investing out of state.3) Buying a multi-unit in the E.Bay, living in a unit, and renting the others can be a great investment.

My partner sees what he does as a mission - he helps to give back to the city by helping people get into houses, and the blue collar areas also get fixed up as there is more home ownership.

I'm in Mission Viejo, but all over the area for business.

I lived across the street from our municpal judge and asked him about it, he said sometimes you have to get things done on your own toughness.I let it be known at work and some pilots agreed to look for him as a training mission, flying search and rescue patterns, tha is a valid training mission.

He's a man on a mission and is kicking a-- and taking names!

But, I'm trying to figure out whether there is an answer that is right for my circumstances.I have been working on the business plan, including Vision & Mission Statements, Goals, Values, etc. 

We have consider our real estate adventure part investment, part hobby, and part mission; we've using our real estate to try to make the world a better place.Keep in touch!
