I absolutely love the SD area, and since I'm also a veteran itching to use my VA loan to secure a 2, 3, or 4 unit property, I hope you don't mind me following this post!

Painting the trim white seems like the quickest, cheapest and easiest thing to do in regards to that.Other than that if your itching to sell a price reduction is the way to go.

I've got the itch to expand. 

You've found the best place to learn more about how to scratch that itch, too, so enjoy taking your time to learn more as you move forward.

This is a great community and I am glad you are itching to get into the Twin Cities RE investment scene, it's a great one!  

I'm itching to read a few books due to the structure and way the information is presented.

I haven't started to invest yet, but I'm itching to jump in, learn, and meet some likeminded people.  

Frankly it's too expensive over here and I'm itching to get in.How's Pennsylvania or Connecticut?

After working with investors I have received the itch to start making my own real estate investments.

Not sure how long it would last, I rent out my house in Richardson, TX and off we go (after responsibly finding jobs there first of course).The real estate itch grows stronger but SF is not the place to scratch that itch, at least not for me in 2014.
