You want it to be active by 11/1, as it is very likely that Oakland will "roll back" rent increases that don't comply with the future RAP rules for anything prior to the date Prop 10 passes (Oakland will definitely add condos and SFRs to the list of rent controlled units if Prop 10 passes) 

I’ve been a very active agent here for 8 1/2 years.

One misconception people have about this area is gang activities and violence.

@Anthony ThomasDo you want to be an active investor, finding and working out deals or a passive investor, having others use your money to acquire and work and the deals?

It could also just be a listing that hasn't been updated yet, so isn't really active. 

Which was funny because people objected, saying the city was too small to accommodate a sporting event of the SB scale.

I am currently in the process of closing out my small investment portfolio in CO and looking to start actively down in your area come January.

You are correct but I have a step by step plan that I am actively following every day.

Along with going to these meet ups and shaking hands and networking you need to join real estate groups on Facebook and stay active om there as well.

Ridiculous  Do you talk/yell at the TV screen during these HDTV shows like most people do while watching a sporting event?
