I'm interested in this market as well to invest and will be visiting in Nov nd am interested in multi-fam units @Chris Carter.

It’s going to be some time before doing a build and wondering if anyone can share innovative ideas to make use of it until we build?

J Scott, you should stop in to SF before in Nov if the house build progresses well! 

The key to growth is usually innovation right?

Guess will have to wait till 3D printers are common in construction 😅Jason as you mentioned there at lot of people looking for value add multi and the market is pretty tight, just got to keep spinning wheels and think out of the box, that's the only way to stand out, in California innovation is the key I guess.

I think your answer is it depends - as you know immediately around WSU it can get sketchy in a hurry depending on what block you are on and how far off of Hillside, 21st, or 17th St you are.I think the University enrollment has been edging up and they've gotten some great publicity/national attention from the basketball team and Charles Koch's recent book release.One other thing you might check out is the Innovation Campus (I believe that is what the WSU President is terming it) development of the former golf course.  

You can’t beat the spring and fall here, and where else can you ride your bike in Nov, Dec...

"For good ideas and true innovation you need human interaction, conflict, argument and debate".

I honestly think with so much innovation that is happening in the RE space, it should be a lot easier to self manage now than before.
