I would join as many MF groups and stay engaged on BP (as you are.)The other thing to remember is that there are only two types of people 1. those in real estate and 2. those who want to be.

The only suggestion I would give you is to stay at 3 units or less in Oakland. 

Well as of right now we have a place to stay but we are definitely interested buying a place to rent out to others. 

But like to keep myself sharp by staying tuned to the market. 

So, this might be a bit radical - and would definitely take some conversations with your wife - but here's what I would do:You mentioned friends and family in the area - I would stay with them on a month-to-month rental basis.

Again, because there was an exchange the find were nearly there.Account ClosedYes I am managing the property myself, and from my experience units do not stay vacant for over a month.  

I think you’d have been better off staying at 525.

I have a portable wood stand I set it on that stays on the job site.

Know the difference between good debt and bad debt - stay "Bad" debt free.5.

It's a very exciting market to explore because there's a ton of revitalization and new outer-ring development happening simultaneously, and we expect it to stay that way for quite a while.
