I live in the SF Bay Area and have decided to buy my first single-family home.I fully acknowledge and recognize that the SF Bay Area and California (in general) may have some of the worst cash flow numbers in the entire country.I've already traveled to cheaper Midwestern states to look at real estate opportunities, but have decided to invest here in the SF Bay Area as I'm purchasing with the intention of living in it first and foremost, and then renting it out sometime in the near future when I move overseas.I'm looking for anywhere in the Greater Bay Area/Northern California region (even Sacramento & Central Valley is okay) with better than average purchase price to rent ratio, and some appreciation (if possible). 

Looking for recommendations for bookkeeping software to help manage my rental portfolio. 

Me and My brother have found this great office building for sale on the same block as a very expensive private college.

Hell my script is 73 pages long.  

or my existing lenders are tapped out?

However, I'm interested in investing in a STR in my home state, especially as my mother still lives here.

How would you go about getting a 2nd home mortgage, for another quadplex in my situation? 

I'd do whatever it took to get my credit rating up. 

Outside of real estate, I enjoy golfing and going to my son's sports games.Excited to learn and connect with you all!
