As others have said there is a vibrant and extensive network of Bay Area investors to tap into.Good to see you getting back up and into the game after taking a fall.Cheers,Jeff

Here in Hawaii, the real estate market is a bit more vibrant than in the rest of the country thanks to a few unique features (warm weather, idyllic tropical setting, extremely low crime rates, etc.), so demand is consistently higher than in most other places.
