I worked on aircraft in the Marines for 8 years, got out, and used my VA loan to get me into a very pricey Fort Collins market, while working a job with a good wage because of my aviation experience, WHILE earning another income to go to school utilizing the GI bill.

Your purchase price is NOT in the Jumbo Loan range for FHA, which has a max loan limit of $765,600 for 1-family dwellingsin Contra Costa County, but it could be for conventional loans only if your loan exceeds $510,400.

Single family homes, townhomes, and condos, are in gray. 2-4 unit properties are on the right.Here you are... print this, and tack it up somewhere in your office, put it in your wallet, your purse, what have you:In the high balance range for high cost of living counties, It's accurate for major Bay Area counties like Alameda (thus, Oakland), San Francisco, Contra Costa, Santa Clara (thus, San Jose), and so on, as well as Orange and LA Counties in SoCal.

Kind of a similar story I was 20 years old floating in the pacific on an aircraft carrier reading rich dad poor dad in my rack. 7 years later I’ve got 9 doors in Columbus OH.

I'd like to begin investing in 2- to 4-unit multi-family in the East Bay - Contra Costa County, ideally while househacking. 

its a grass strip.. so limited to type of aircraft that will use it.. mainly taildraggers etc.but it looks cool... thanks for posting.

I am currently an Aircraft Maintenance Officer as a career broadening, but will be switching over to Acquisitions/Contracting in a little over a year.Now that that's out of the way.....I first found out about BP through the BP Podcast that I happened to stumble upon one day while looking for a REI Podcast to keep me busy on my 6 hour commute from AR-->MO.....ever since then I've been hooked!

I'm a competent Realtor, but have been making the transition from my first real career, aircraft maintenance, to this one for a little while now.

We had considered using the money to start an aircraft management and brokering company, which would also be a big undertaking.
