I hadn't been asked that before, so naturally I inquired as to the significance of the question. 

Agree with @Thomas S.Just like beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, value is in the eyes of the beerholder.

Most will argue that you are much more valuable if you can make it out with a deal to at least talk to people about, but even if you don't have one, come out and just talk to people at the event.The Bay Area is a tougher market than many to wholesale just to the nature of the price point and the amount of marketing Realtors do (I will admit my team personally does thousands of pieces a month).

This is BEAUTIFUL!!

Although it is beautiful Platinum, it probably cost them around $500 to make and I paid $2,500 for it.

Finally, after 10 k more investment and three months, I had a beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bath 92 Oakwood with a fireplace and calls off the hook.

I just don't exactly know how to explain the nature of my business without them thinking I am a scammer.

Unless your intention is to swim in the ocean every day, consider that you'd have to get on a plane to get there anyway, and look at the coast of Oregon.It's beauty can compete with any coastline in the world.

Or something of that nature.

Welcome Back Jeanne, SF is a beautiful city :D Hope the summer is treating you well!
