I look forward to making some mutually beneficial contacts and building long term relationships with like minded people seeking financial freedom, abundance and release from the "rat race".

During the crash there was an abundance of unwanted properties.

What we do have is a fairly steady job market compared to other areas and abundant liquidity looking for yield.

I do not have very much capital to start with, but time is becoming a more abundant resource for learning/acting.

Looking at listing may not need full rehab, new roof and water heater done, 3br in neighbor run 900 to 1000, rehab for low maintenance, try to buy as low as you can , look at comps, probably could go in as low as 38-42 with good agent and stress as is, maybe a few agents here to help, get one to give you good numbers not listing agent numbers , street is a nice one for area, not much back yard or parking but nice front, before you close make sure vacant  contingent, if numbers work I would do it, the are predicting an abundance of rentals avail next year with building craze but keeping expense low you should be safe, remember don't rehab as if you are living there, think durable and repaintable, number should go into systems and structure first, elect,heat,walls, windows,floors,plumbing, if you use a contractor go with one you know or work with someone in area to keep an eye on progress, good luck at least you know some of the history of the property

That business will be able to guide some of the financial information, and will also be able to supply me with an abundance of referrals for contractors, electricians, etc.Current finances:110k income between my fiancé and I.

All this abundance in supply is already having an effect on rent prices.

Overall, there are several ways to get involved, money is abundant so if you try your hardest and it's a deal, it will be funded.

There is also a great abundance of food options around Lake Merritt and the Temescal neighborhood, so much diversity, it's really nice being so close!

If you don't have friends that are interested in moving in, craigslist has an abundance of people looking for a place.
