@Kevin Taylor new real estate agent here, I currently work with investors in the Bay Area and Central Valley, CA and one thing I noticed is majority of them do not have a MS in Real Estate and if they do have a degree it’s not in real estate.

@Kumar GauravTo raise a family, I’d recommend North Bay, cities like Sonoma, Santa Rosa and Petaluma are nice but you need at least 750 K or more to find something descent.

Here in the Bay Area it's common for us to serve the entire state, but in some areas like Los Angeles, the loan originators often elect to only work within that one county. 

I’m located out in Palm Bay FL and realized with the market down here my best investment strategy would be long term rentals with a new construction home.

@Krystle Moore we're very well versed in the local Tampa Bay market, we are constantly on calls with MF investors from across the country looking to expand into our market, 22 unit, 15 unit, 8 unit, all of these deals flowing through most of the MF brokers in town at the shops CBRE, Franklin St, etc.. happy to make some connections to find you something.

I purchased my townhouse in the SF Bay Area in 2015 for about $750,000. 

I moved up to the bay area for work and purchased another house-hack here recently. 

I grew up in Carson City, NV and was living in the bay area for a while.

@Jay HinrichsIn the Tampa Bay area, Hillsborough county just dictated every rental be sec8 eligible.

Hello folks,I have a Duplex in East Bay where the incoming water pipe/meter (according to EBMUD records) is 5/8".I am planning to add 2 ADUs in the backyard.My question is - will the existing water service be sufficient to server the 2 additional units?
