I can't help but tag @Minh Leon this conversation..

I need to defer to you, Minh, David, Gloria and Robert!

@Minh Le - What is your take on the recent layoffs which are starting to happen in the bay area.

Martin@Minh Le and @Johnson H. are three great people in the area to get to know when starting down the Investing road in the Bay Area."

@Amit M @Minh Le @J Martin all can show you that the Bay Area is an investors dream.And guess what, in 2046 there will be people crying that they did not invest in 2016 and others that did that will smile when those same people tell them they were so LUCKY to buy in 2016. 

:@Minh LeIt must be a left coast thing, you sound a lot like landlords I know in Vancouver ... just keep raising rents $50 - $100 each year in perpetuity.A $50/year rent increase is wonderful - something most of us on the other coast might only see a couple of years per decade - but it's only feasible so long as the underlaying economy and family income continue to increase at a similar rate, otherwise you will eventually price yourself into the high-end of the market and hit your own ceiling.In my area, my property taxes went up on one property by more than 1K in just one year.

@Minh Le You seem to be a go to person around here on things like this.

Please advise.Thank you,Minh
