Trevor, I represented a good number of professional athlete in the San Francisco and Bay Area, as a RE Broker.

Hi @Zachary PennYou should reach out to @Alex Cueto with Tampa Bay Property Management!

In bay area, I am paying about 25K for labor and about 10-15K for material for a 380 sf patio room conversion to a 1 bedroom, with raising the structure and installing a new 4" concrete pad underneath the existing patio structure.Permit fee and other design cost would be extra.

David Greene says it best, "rock stars know rock stars" :)My brokerage actually specializes in teaching people about investing in multifamily real estate and helping them grow their rental portfolios in the LA and South Bay areas.

details on home:-SFR single-story,4bed 2 bath, 1962 built, SF Bay area, high end, prime location- bedrooms + living room is carpet  (hardwood underneath) - I can remove the carpet in the living room area and might refinish hardwood depends on condition.- popcorn ceiling in bedrooms + living room- kitchen white laminated countertop and cabinets, with oak trim- kitchen appliances all white except the microwave is stainless steelplans so far:> already planning to  add recessed light in the living room (and remove fan) (kitchen already have recessed lights), bedrooms have the fan> paint oak to white (kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanity )> kitchen countertop - granite or quartz?

What is the best South Bay Area jurisdiction for permits (i.e. fastest, easiest, etc)? 

I'm new to the Sacramento area and looking to expand my network.I have experience investing in small apartment/multifamily deals with my own cash as a GP and currently own 17 units in the high priced bay area market.

I’m in Realtor in the Bay Area, Ca, and it’s common here to write an offer as you mentioned, having a physical inspection for informational purposes only.

They're younger, this was their starter home, they still need to be in the East Bay, assuming they are buying their next home with 20% down that $20k this way or that is another $100k in buying power! 

I'm currently learning more about the FHA loan and getting my personal finances in order so I can start looking for an agent and lender in the Bay Area through the BP community.- Robert
