I've rehabbed two properties & it's not my cup of tea.

Now, if you are talking creative real estate; If I was an attorney, or played one on late night TV, I'd probably find probate, bankruptcy, judgments & liens, divorces and 2nd mortgages to be my cup of tea.

At about seven o'clock we slide over to the meeting room ( skinny tables, chairs too close together, you know) for coffee or tea and the show begins.

Yup  not my cup of tea..

I have my sales license, but put it in escrow (not my cup of tea).

We do want to do that, but this particular opportunity is so close and could be quite an easy way to see if the multifamily rental thing is even my cup of tea. 

I'm in Tucson, so I couldn't pay for your trip, BUT the weather IS cooler here :mrgreen: and I'll make some sun tea!

I know there are sub2 investment models based on long term buy and hold and that's fine, just not my cup of tea.

I can show numbers better than you mentioned but the purpose of my post was not to attract people to my area but just to input that the OP needs to plan an exit strategy if he were to invest in SF today,I am not trying to guru predict the market; I have no tea leaves to read and no crystal ball.

It looks like silver and gold are having a bit of a runup right now so it may be a little late to jump in , but , I will still be on the lookout for junk silver - i have picked up many pieces of stuff other people don't want - just recently( about 3 months ago) we acquired over 12oz of pure silver cause nobody else rumaging through it was interested in it ( it was in the form of some dirty tarnished goblets and tea pot- nearly black) after cleaning what we suspected was silver , we saw the engravings that marked it .999 % silver.I looked up silver and it was like 13$ an ounce - not too shabby - but now with the run up as of late - those pieces are suddenly becoming quite the find.
