I have a lot of CA clients in your similar situation.CA is mainly an appreciation market like New York with a little cash flow sprinkled in.

I'm leaning towards the Buy-Rehab-Rent-Refi. approach, and then flips sprinkled in afterwards.As someone who's relatively new, which direction would you point me? 

Today it is not an either or as much and some with even 1000s multi doors might also have some choice very well located sfrs sprinkled in.

I'm not looking to be a full time agent, but simply use the license to my advantage in my own investments, with a few family/friends deals sprinkled in every now and then.Does anyone on BP have recommendations on San Diego brokers I could potentially hang my license?

You might include some more conservative cash flowing rental properties and also sprinkle in a few properties with neutral or slightly negative cash flow in situations where you can obtain those properties with very little money down and secure an immediate equity position.

It's all motivational talk sprinkled with basic knowledge you could learn on BP.

I would suggest sprinkling some money in the market if you haven't already.

Remember this is not a script, you have to sprinkle these questions and statements into the conversation both on the phone and in person

The last gentrifying area I bought into had just selected a winning developer, the contract award came with City approved plans for the developer to build out a combination of 2,600 new SFR's Condo's, For-Rent Apartments, and a Senior project, with some affordable units sprinkled into the mix to appease the local politicians for gentrifying the area and forcing the poor out, there was also a Whole Foods, Target, and others retailers committed.

If they are sprinkled in her and there then I would try to avoid them and use arms length translations.
