Real success doesn't come over night.  

She's in Camp Hill.

We live in the Palm Springs area, love off-roading, camping, basically any kind of adventure, own a carpentry business, and have two dogs.I came across this site as I was looking into real estate and flipping homes.

Unfortunately, that leverage worked the other way too.Ever wonder why a company like Bear Stearns, with $50 Billion worth of mortgage backed assets on the books went broke virtually overnight?

There have been a lot of pan-handlers claiming it as prime real estate.For whatever reason, this guy set up camp today.Maybe it is because he was once a pan-handler at the same spot and things have turned around for him or he may just have a thing against pan-handlers.I did not ask him, why but I shouted out to him if he would allow me to take the photo and he said "sure".

The Biggest Risk Factor is Overnight Risk or in counting on long term Appreciation with real estate.

There are no overnight success stories in real estate.

It probably won't happen overnight since the lender will need to get to know your first to see if they can't to invest with you. 

The off white may be a very light member of the greige camp, but the other two I would call bone and...well, beige and not greige and not tan and not almond (note, I am color challenged but beige can be yellow or pink and while neutral, completely outdated due to undertone...my first and last quart of greige, used as asubtle accent wall, had a disappointing purple undertone.)  

Minh and I fall in the camp that believes that although making investments in bay area and making sense out of those is hard but once you figure that out - the results are much superior than any other typically available options.
