Me: Tech Sales (all from prospecting to closing) - Bay Area native located in Marin County - Pickleball enthusiastGoal: Secure my first rental property in 3-6 monthsExcited to learn from all of you and contribute to the community in any way I can.Thanks for welcoming me!

I started off my professional life as a commissioned officer in the Marine Corps and then transitioned into a director level position with a large corporate healthcare company.

Investigation calls attention to housing discrimination in Sonoma, Marin, Solano counties (pressdemocrat.com)I look forward to the day when these reports are no longer finding housing discrimination.

Our last three deals in Marin yielded 32%, 62% and 78% cash on cash return (actual not annualized) with 65%  LTV hard money financing.  

The reason I chose the Marine Corps over any other branch when I went in is cause if it is worth doing I wanted to be the best.

The 5 P's of the Marines teach us Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance, so be aware.

Just a little about me, I am retired from the United States Marine Corps and have owned several homes in the past. 

Next, try any of these: Bank of Southern California, Bank of West (BNP Paribas), Cal Coast Credit Union, East West Bank, up to 60% LTV with "no docs” San Fran, First Republic, Fremont Bank up to 60% CLTV, Golden1, HSBC, Quorum FCU, Santa Ana CU, Silvergate Bank, Umpqua, Bank of Marin.

Retired marines, 25% management fees, and why roofs matter…My investment career would have one more sharp detour before I had to deal with the aftermath of 2008.

I've lived in Waco my entire life minus my time in the Marines.
