Im a real estate investor living in New York and am interested in networking and investing in Portuguese real estate.  

It’s a real hodgepodge of applicable regs.  

I wanted to learn more about real estate investing in the Bay Area, specifically in the East Bay.

Ensure you work with a team that is familiar with them (accountants / lawyers).A 1031 exchange is a way for real estate investors to defer paying taxes on the sale of investment property.

Focus on long-term rentals in affordable markets with reliable cash flow, and steer clear of high-cost flips, lower-class properties, or overleveraging in areas that rely solely on appreciation.Good luck!

Hi @Ron Sausa what's great about real estate is there are plenty of people that have done what it is you are looking to do. 

With the money and academics potentially pouring into RPI and Troy, NY — Do you think these markets will actually explode in the next 20 years? Or is it wishful thinking?

I've done the one on one thing for a while now but for a lot of reasons (timing, paperwork, reliability, etc.), it's not ideal.

A partner and I, both of who work a full time job, are looking to get into real estate investing.

In my developments, I went to everyone I could in the area and got the most RELIABLE (not cheapest) person in order to make my numbers work the best.
