Most people don't really read reviews.

Maybe the HOA people can tell you if the wall is constructed out of block. 

I knew several people who had an undeniably great stretch (probably in that 20% range) until the GR and FC hit them in the face. 

Throw an LLC together with a few people with $1m each, and buy it, San Francisco isn't short of folks who got lucky with this or that IPO and have the money, most of those tech companies have an unofficial employee-maintained slack/discord channel where they talk about real estate stuff.

When I put this house up for rent, I had 30 people in open house, with 8 people ready to lease.

Looking to network with like-minded people preferably woman since I don't know many women investors.
