They just gave me $905 (why not 900 lol) for a 1 BR in my 7 unit across from the RTA in East Clev, whoop , cash would be about 650, oh and 1700 for my 4 BR in Lee Harvard , 

I am not saying they are not important considerations but there should be more to your analysis.You also rattled off two NW Philadelphia neighborhoods in East Falls and Mount Airy.

I see people looking on FB groups but live in the east valley. 

And it's in a super convenient, central location, closer to downtown San Francisco than most of SF neighborhoods, and easy access to the whole East Bay.

Looking to meet other investors in the East Valley.  

I am actually under contract for a three unit a bit further South-East from there, closer to the river.

Essentially, the overlay surrounds the City of Ojai and includes Oak View, Meiner Oaks, and east of Ojai.  

@Gabe Goudreau We're investors in Indy and have completed a few BRRRRs on the east side.

The East Bay is more affordable than S.F. - I would caution against Oakland or Berkeley because they have very pro-tenant laws. 

If price point for these properties is a limiting factor, properties found on the North side of Veteran's Memorial Pkwy can be viable too, as long as they are on the East side of Santa Barbara Blvd, and South of Pine Island Rd (SR-78)
