We invest mainly in the Bay Area (in Marin and we also dabble in SF). 

You are also a Marine, you are more equipped to handle bad situations than civilians.

After just recently getting out of the Marine Corps, I don't have have cash to drop on properties to Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, and Repeat on properties.

I discovered Bigger Pockets a few months ago, and decided that joining the BP world would benefit myself in acquiring a wealth of knowledge from you all, so I would first like to thank you for your time.I am currently an active duty Marine stationed out in the Los Angeles area.

We had a client recently need one of these and was able to obtain one through Bank of Marin.

My investments in SF/Marin County I analogize to growth stocks. 

Not to mention that I make a mistake from time to time and if I print it out and let it marinate for a day or two I catch them and get them fixed.
