@Priscilla Z. is right to say to work with a wholesaler that knows the area.

Probably not zoned for that, not at all what P&Z probably wants there, but developers seem to be slipping big warehouses in everywhere including some very unusual spots.   

If you are putting up X, Y and Z you need to be compensated for it.  

I'm very new in real estate investing. so I need help from A to Z. 

This type of conversion could also work for rental units, because any new units are exempt from rent control.Perry Z., speaking of deals in Oakland, I purchased a duplex + cottage with an FHA loan which will meet the 1% rule whenever I move out of the unit I occupy.

In these areas, I go to all the Broker open houses, meet with other agents, visit the weekend open houses, and also spend some ad bucks promoting my name on Z, for example for a couple of the zip codes I am focusing on.
