Hi Peggy,I'm a HUD certified broker in the bay area and could help. thanks

I'm willing and ready to travel anywhere in the Bay Area to find YOUR next investment, I'm ready to make money, are YOU???

IE 40 minutes from sac and hwy improvements to 65.. etc.. plus were you live you just get all the overflow from retiree's from BAy area that want to move to the gold country to retire..

My short term goal is to use my VA loan to purchase a duplex/3plex/4plex that will cash flow in the bay area within driving distance of my job.

My wife and I sold the business, came back home to Tampa Bay and have basiclly started over.

Specifically, the SF bay area is obviously one of the most expensive real estate markets in the country, therefore there are a number of items I'm trying to think through (like financing, working around the FHA limits which are pretty low for SF Bay Area prices, etc) but specifically I'm trying to figure out how to find the right opportunity:When looking for a multi-unit property as an investment, cash flow is usually the goal.

If you have zero degree temps blowing into a joist bay that has a hot metal vent of any kind in it  3 gallons of condensation can easily happen.  

I'm planning on making an offer on a 3 bed 3 bath townhouse in the East Bay, the market value of the townhouse is $370k.

We meet the 2nd tuesday of each month at the pensacola bay center.

Plus Portland like Austin is red hot and sells very very  well stacks right up to doing deals in the bay area or LA.
