My husband and I are newbies and are making an offer on a commercial/industrial property in Wisconsin (Appleton, near Green Bay / Oshkosh) this week.  

Hi @William Salas, I just sold a highly appreciated rental property in the Bay Area last year using a "Monetized Installment Sale".

Over the past fifteen years I got new siding,  a new deck and new front porch,  new marble flooring,  new tile flooring,  a new roof,  new front bay window,  some other new windows,  paint, new sink, stove,  hardware in kitchen, and a basement bathroom with granite floor. 

Do  you attend any local events in LBC or the South Bay? 

Does anyone have experience using a self directed IRA in the Bay Area for flips or real estate investing?

It's in the Bay Area and if we sell, it'll put a good sum in our pocket.

Hi,I'd like have an idea of average cost per square footage as far as a 1) light cosmetic fix, 2) full renovations and also 3) gut renovations in the San Francisco Bay Area...Thank you,Felipe

I can help you gain access to multiple off-market properties a month in Tampa Bay.. along with assist in rehab estimates, competitive market analysis, etc.

There are definitely a lot of parallels in San Diego to the Bay area. 

I had more than on contractor borrower of mine that finally figured that out got enough equity from relatives and now they are doing quite well and no way we can compete with them.but you start moving up north of 750k to purchase and unless your in the Bay area or prime LA  that does knock out a lot of competitionand you also have to remember this poster is paying CASH  HUGE difference as she has no cost of capital most of us need to borrow and if your borrowing HM which 95% have to as banks really don't service this niche ... her carrying cost ona say 700k project would eat up 20 to 30k EASY..
