I’m under contract with my latest flip, the proceeds of which will pay off the heloc that I use to buy and rehab properties.

You can get a much better return on your investment elsewhere and with $500k you can buy 3 homes or a 4 unit.  

A new member shouldn't be up sold the site's products when they are just asking for general advice from the forum; not what books to buy from BP. 

SF is a very unique market, and actually may be a great time to buy right now, especially if they can successfully turn the city around. 

My daily job is to buy commercial real estate.

Some say we have to buy the house with them or we paid too little for the property and finally after going back and forth and submitting all our paper work and paying for appraisal they now tell us they didn’t realize that the property had so many bedrooms and they said they do not loan to properties with so many bedrooms.

They require all cash to buy so the people there have money.
