People see a mob scene, and wonder how good their chances are.2.

Retirement in the true scenes of the word refers to not working.

Last year I moved back here from Australia to get in with the Tacoma scene.

Although I do want to create an environment for newer investors to come into the scene and not be given a sales pitch.

The other option that just came into the scene is the Opportunity Zones under the new tax plan.

If you like the urban culture then maybe downtownIf you like young party scenes then maybe PB and MBIf you like upper class then Rancho Santa Fey, La Jolla, CoronadoIf you like liberal (think Berkeley) then OB, Hillcrest, north park   If you like rural city in county feel with great community think Poway or BonitaIf you like casual upper class but not super upper class beach then Encinitas, Carlsbad, del MarI live in Poway and love it but I may retire to Encinitas by Moonlight Bay.In summary you are the only one that can determine best area for you.  

I would also like to get into the wholesale scene.

I am new to the landlord scene, so I can't exactly give you the best "analysis" but I can say there is a high demand for rentals in general.

He's a real piece of work, but part of the SF political carnival....errr...scene.

Welcome to the scene.
