Adair Park, Capital View, Oakland City and the Westend....all have alluring homes...cute arts & crafts bungalows...the beltline.....but until something is done about the crime in those area....it will fizzle out again.  

South of San Francisco is the Peninsula and the South Bay, aka Silicon Valley, which is home to many notable tech companies like Apple, Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Oracle, AMD, Adobe, Intel, Netflix, Cisco, HP, EBay, Marvell, Altera, Ericsson, IBM, Hitachi, Kaiser Permanente, KLA Tencor, Qualcomm, Quantum, Xilinx, Tivo…… I could go on and on, but you get the picture.

That's kind of the art of this business.

All in all, design is more art than science.

Francisville, North Broad, and Brewerytown are north of the city and are on the cheaper end, they are close to the nicer Fairmount and Art Museum Neighborhoods.

You have 3 options I see ask family members for money, find a bank that will lend or go the hard money route. my advice is to Go to REIA meetings and start learning the art of asking questions. 

Real Estate, Gold, Silver, Crypto and Fine Art.

tour mindset is all bad, I’ve seen the worst places become a work of art!!!
