Also your perspective are you an agent, pm or investor.For example in Cleveland the east side has tons of A communities by income standards but the turn times of how long a property sits on the market is atrocious.

I suppose something more turn-key could be a good option, but haven't come across many viable options there yet.Anyways, we still have a lot more to learn and still need to familiarize ourselves with the area/market, but just wanted to pop in to say hi! 

I suspect the person who originally turned it into a fiveplex only applied for permits to make a fourplex and then did the 5th unit fly by night (perhaps at a later date) in order so the property would still be considered residential and allow for better financing possibilities.

SF is a very unique market, and actually may be a great time to buy right now, especially if they can successfully turn the city around. 

I'm currently looking to either buy a turn key multi-family or BRRRR a multi.

But the signature turns into value.

Make sure it’s updated though as the IRS will ask for it to be produced quickly.

I currently work with investors to build their portfolios with Turn-key long-term rentals, making it hands-free for the investors. 

Are you starting with some available capital or other investments that you can turn into cash to buy a deal?

Alot of unknowns as you don't have the ability to walk the property beforehand, but interesting process, and pretty good deals exist there.While the Trustee Sales are cash purchases, there are many hard money options that can turn over the funds in time for the 24 hour funding required to complete the purchase.If you are interested, let me know and I can go into more detail, as well as make some other suggestions for you to consider.
