I don't fancy myself that big of a fish, so it may not really be a factor. 

We are also targeting areas with popular outdoor activities such as rock climbing, river kayaking, mountain biking, fishing, and hiking, which are all excellent ways to experience our amazing region, and therefore also reasons why people visit. 

Hopefully a ton more time for family and some for fishing as well.  

Considering your situation, I agree with everyone else here- you should broaden your horizon and see comps in pricing for Oakland, Berkeley, Albany and El Cerrito.

I specialize primarily in retail and restaurant leasing, acquisition/disposition and redevelopment.I've spent a decent amount of time listening to the biggerpockets podcast and looking though topics on the forum, but finally decided to get more involved in the community to broaden my horizons and maximize my benefits from the site.

Currently I'm focused on what was a sleepy fishing village a few years ago.

They compared the income, net worth, and debt levels for Doctors, lawyers, accountants, etc.The bottom line was those that were still receiving help from their parents, made less, had less net worth, and had more debt than their counterparts.I found that to be very revealing in terms of the old adage of giving a man a fish instead of teaching him to fish.

Hello all, I am a young (21 y/o) investor from the Austin area looking to broaden my horizons.

Find something near you and figure out how to make it work for you.As in near, a fish knows it's own pond the best.Those old gold miners in California got rich because they looked for the gold--those who didn't--had no gold for themselves.Good Luck!

I once mailed a letter with a picture of me holding a fish I caught and the headline "I'm fishing for a house to buy!"
