Time and time again I have been witness to these scenes.

Some of the SF based tech companies struggling now and resulted in layoffs might bring down the rents and prices, also the IPO scene does not look pretty for next year or so. 2.

It makes no scenes for a landlord to require tenants carry insurance and then pay tenants for damage. 

Recently, looked into Pittsburgh due to proximity and the college scene with CM & UPitt (+ others) all in the vicinity is highly interesting - does anyone have anything solid?

While it doesn't have industry, it has the best Hospital in America (Cleveland Clinic), a new Amazon Center is being built there, an up and coming food and beer scene (two of the top 50 breweries in the world are in CLE), and loads of other scenes (art, music, etc) that gives the sense that Cleveland is doing what Pittsburgh did and is making a come back.

A buddy brought me some handloads.....2) Saying "Apartment 3B did not fill out the form, so we now know there are no guns on scene" is a joke and does nothing to help and may even be more of a liability for you.

The logistics of that seem nightmarish to be totally honest. 

Hi, I am new to US/ California real estate investment scene.

I’m familiar with the area (lived there for a few years), the growing college scene should work out great.

If you are a home owner, renter, building owner, etc. and you needed a Sergeant on scene you'd just call 911.
