I grew up in Central California, spent way too much time on the East Coast in the military, and am now back in California living in San Diego.

Both New York and San Francisco have been having great success with this new model. 

Thank youTommy Did you use a bank in San Diego to refi that San Diego property?

Now I understand that if all works as it should (sans range) then really the house is livable as is after some cleaning, painting (if you like that sort of thing) but considering the comps and the condition, is this really a good deal for $215,000?

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area where the real estate is very high priced, however it may or may not be good for what I am trying to accomplish.Joe, do you have any contact information for personal coaching inquiries ?

Currently active duty Navy from Atlanta, GA but in San Diego, CA now. 

This is in San Francisco South Bay.The annual return rate for local top CA public schools with famous residents was 8%.

My market (San Antonio TX) produces opportunity for investments that cash flow.
