This was 2005, so the technology wasnt great, just a TON of really boring reading.

I know Sharad does it with technology but he built his systems in place before moving to California from IL.

And many of these firms are hiring talent of all ages certainly, but in the area of robotics, sciences and other technology fields, a lot of young urban professionals are coming from CMU and need places to live close to these businesses.

He uses the latest technology to communicate with tenants and owners and to track money in and out.

General liability insurance, rent, office supplies, utilities, technology costs, website, marketing, ...these are just a few of the things that come to mind quickly.  

I'm coming back to real estate and I am shocked at how much technology has changed the business.

GM moved about 5000 technology people Downtown, after bringing 14K inhouse from contracting houses/consultants.

While I'm open to local opportunities, the Bay Area at first glance seems a bit competitive for me with my full-time job in technology and somewhat modest amount of income earmarked for a first acquisition, and I suspect there might be clearer opportunities for solid cash flow elsewhere.

About me: I am in another industry today--Technology sales--but Ive owned properties and rentals in my past.

I have a technology background & recently just became a commercial drone pilot, however I want to become my own boss and invest in myself.
