Just looking to build a network, learn and share and investing strategies on SFR or rehabs in the bayarea or 1-2 hours out side the San Francisco market.

I believe it- the market has absolutely exploded thanks to anticipation over Micron, but still has an overall low barrier to entry.

They identified the opportunity and facilitated the negotiations, using their market expertise and strong connections.

As a hard money lender who lives and works in the Central Florida market, I can tell you that building strong connections with local investors, realtors, wholesalers, and other real estate professionals is key to long-term success.If you’re interested in expanding your network and getting a deeper understanding of the investment process, I’d be happy to connect.

That will make it easier for renting the long-term rental for sure because you can advertise the base rent, which is comparable to market rent, and then state that utilities are included for the utility fee.

If the property is vacant you can use the market rent from the 1007 to qualify.

This is going to make me shop other alternatives since I have not checked the market in a while.I have not had a claim with them but I am concerned there will be issues when I do.Update: Just got feedback from them on their last error.

Some options I've considered: - Forward 1031:  Seems to have timing issues (unless my purchase offer has a contingency, which will most likely make my offer pointless in my market).- A reverse 1031: Complex, and possible financing issues for the initial purchase before selling.

I’m not as familiar with the tenant market up that way, but if you’re interested in the Syracuse area, multi families are endless possibilities! 

I'm just beginning research into this market so if anyone has any insight into this area and what to know investing out of the country, I would appreciate it!
