I was a RE broker doing acquasitions for a large syndicator in the 80s in San Francisco / Sacramento market.. and thats what brought down their billion dollar buziness taking reserve money from good projects to prop up losers..

According to this guy, no one in Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, LA, San Diego, Boston, NYC, DC or Miami should ever buy property then.

I'm particularly passionate about fix and flip and section 8 in Baltimore, Tulsa, San Antonio, and Houston.Outside of real estate, I enjoy triathlons, martial arts, fatherhood, and time with family and friends.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

My family owns REI Nation, and we operate in DFW, Houston, San Antonio, and 8 other cities across the Southeast.

Definitely very difficult (virtually impossible) in my San Diego market.  

Hello All,I'm looking into selling a condo and rolling the equity into a new investment SFR here in San Diego.

Finally, two other things that you can look into or talk with your CPA to see if there could be any advantages to you (you may be phased out due to income for some) is the Section 199A pass-through deduction, which would require you to start tracking hours spent on your real estate enterprise, as well as the possible CA SALT tax workaround in case you were interested in deducting more than the $10k state and local tax cap for the next few years.If you need referrals for professionals in any of these areas in the San Diego area, feel free to reach out. 

I was on the HOA board of a luxury building in San Francisco and you would be surprised at how many people will let their dogs pop and pee in the common areas (killing very expensive plantings).

Hey Keith - I am also in San Diego!

i was exploring and saw some of the neighborhoods in kyle, Tx has school ratings like 8 and brand new houses in the range of 300K with potential rents at $2200 per month so overall making them cash flow positive. however, i am not sure why Kyle is a popular place. it is mid way between austin and san antonio but that does not seem to be a strong enough reason.
