Hi BP Community,I'm an aircraft broker and sales consultant in Greensboro, NC.

[Note: this is a posting I originally made on August 26, but then asked the moderators to remove as I was not ready]Post Title: Sometime things just fall from the sky{No, this is not a story of pieces shed from aircraft or space junk coming home.}Last evening I went for a walk after supper and came home with a duplex ...

I'm trying to find a list of expired listings of 5+ unit properties in Northern California (Alameda, Contra Costa, San Joaquin, Sacramento, Yuba, Stanislaus, etc).

My Name is Dave Hieb and I am a Planning Manager at an Aircraft repair facility.

Middle aged guy here. 33-year aircraft mechanic, tired of the corporate rat race and looking to retire in a few years.

I'm looking to invest mainly in Alameda County possibly going out to Contra Costa county if it makes sense.

They also signed a disclosure that it was not guaranteed but that it was my honest opinion, And up to the time I moved my main office to Contra Costa County it never failed.As for the Chinese population selling off, well I had a ton of Chinese clients, they were just showing up on my doorstep saying I was recommended.

I am an aircraft electrician by trade and will soon be a buy and hold real estate investor.

In addition, I know some tax incentives were provided to Embraer Executive Aircraft to attract them to come to the area.Also, Northrop Grumman has committed to building a large engineering facility that will be bringing 1800 jobs to the area around 2017 and rumors are that a large yacht manufacturer will be coming to Merritt Island.  

Brandon, I didn't see Jon suggest at all that you should do turnkey deals, in fact, you'll do better staying away from them.You certainly don't want a note from a turnkey sale, the transactions are usually overpriced which means the note would not reflect a good value to rely on as collateral.You need a good understanding of RE before you get into thinking about notes, need to be able to fly a single engine fixed wing aircraft before flying a 747. :)
