Ive also looked into wholesaling but being in the San Francisco Bay Area wholesailing is high unlikely. 

I am in the Tampa Bay area and am new to investing. 

I live in the SF Bay Area so a local CPA would be preferred!

shared equity was very popular in the SF Bay AREA in the late 80s and early 90s  for different reasons.. were i lived Palo Alto  the values sky rocketed and there were no low money down loans you needed 20% down in those days.. 

I live near downtown Tampa and I am open to exploring options throughout Greater Tampa Bay…If residential, I’d prefer an individual condo that has HOA flexibility for a STR or multi-family properties.  

We are in the Bay Area which is a notoriously ridiculous market, but are making it work with mid-term rentals.

I don't think there are enough projects like this to find reliable owners to share this data.Flex or small bay is your closest comparison, its a lot of work to herd these tenants into compliance, billing for usage, common area rules, trash, etc.Not worth the squeeze, just get a single tenant and move on.

Purchase price: $275,000 I bought this back in 2015 as my first primary home and started renting it out once we moved to the bay area.

I believe they simply don't want to bay the electric down payment the city impose, even though they seem to be always on time with rent, and the electric as well, but personally I don't want them to leave me with a bill when they move out.

I am an investor/developer in Northern California.We plan to build fourplexes in populated/traveled areas in the Nor-cal Bay Area.If you don't know which way to go in order to retire yourself/your family, this is a strategy I'd recommend:Buy land -> Build fourplex -> Rent out/Airbnb units -> Refinance the property -> Repeat!
