Looking to learn more as much as possible and get involved in my own deals.  

I understand the value of leveraging as much as possible.

If we decide to make an offer, is it possible to either 1.) make the sellers put the full price of repairs in escrow (even though the other unit holders will benefit from the improvement); or 2.) make the offer contingent upon the condo association putting a certain dollar amount in escrow to handle the repairs; or 3.) do a combination of 1 and 2 saying that if all of the owners don't put a certain dollar amount in escrow by a certain date then the sellers pay the full amount of forfeit the deal?

One of the big topics I will be looking for on the forums are the issues with "cross border investing" I have been absorbing the podcasts as fast as possible, as there is tones of great info and tips sitting in there.I am sure I will be searching for / posting LOTS of questions to get things off on the right foot!

I am joining this forum to learn as much as possible before making my first purchase and to meet like minded investors in the Bay Area.

It is totally possible for you to obtain your goal Alex.

Always remember to do the math analysis on prospective properties and try to look at them or at least before you make an offer or at least have a clause in the sales contract that allows you the inspection time (about 15 days) that is detailed and allows you to possibly back out of the deal without a penalty that will hurt you too much.

Therefore, your purchase price + any possible renovations/improvements should be around 50,000. (2% of 50,000= 1,000). 3.
