-This property or a similar foreclosure (no other candidates available) are my only way of buying in this town for cash flow (but plenty of cash flowing properties available in the more "blue collar" town nearby), everything else is fairly well picked clean or would require significantly more down, limiting my ability to purchase a second property this year.

My mind wandered steadily through the properties I had been analyzing the day prior...none of them good deals...not a chance...there are no good deals in this market...or was there maybe that one with the blue roof...nah...that one didn’t have a high enough ARV...but wait that other one in the nicer neighborhood...nope...that one didn’t have a high enough rent to justify...what about that Triplex that has been siting on the market a couple of months...WAIT, that Triplex has been sitting on the market a couple of months!

If you HAVE to be in The City, I'd look at what's left of the blue collar neighborhoods in town - Portola, Excelsier, Hunters Point, Mission etc. 

For every 1 white collar job created there are 3 blue          collar jobs created.3.

It's not some apparition of guess work that once in a blue-moon rears up like Nessy, that we must guesstimate when we may see it again next to try and catch.

It's a blue collar community.

Here are some good links for you to check out and if you see the "flood map" represented in Orange or Blue then I would consider flood insurance.

Country look properties can handle a color like blue or cranberry but it may look wierd in other home styles.
