I also set key word alerts for topics that interest me such as various strategies (examples are: wholesaling, flipping, probates, pre-foreclosures, bank owned or REO property, buy and hold rentals), or methods of financing (such as: seller carry or owner financing, lease option, LOC, VA loans, FHA, etc.). 

You may just study their methods or you might get to be friends with them and actually discuss deals.  

Hello,Interested in advice preferred method to conduct title search and obtain O&E report.Is there a title company you prefer to use, or do you complete the due diligence yourself downtown?

What other methods/options do you propose to purchase and rehab?

There are other differences of course  reporting, resale times State Approvals, SEC pre approvals, Suitability Standards, and advertising methods.  

I use small contractors who like my method because they can work around my schedule and they know they are in an out quickly with no obstructions in their way. 

@Brandon Turner has his BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Refinance, Rent, Repeat) strategy that he promotes a lot.

That´s what´s on my mind right now, but I am actually very open to learn about different investment methods here in San Francisco and which will fit me best. 

I see a lot about how you should secure your method of financing prior to looking for a property.

Any suggestion on the easiest, safest, most legal and feasible, aka "the best," or "ideal" method of completing the actual sell of the lease option in California, for 2016?
