@Ashley Hernandez  fist off the chance of getting an improved property in CA at tax sale is extremely remote.. but as JOSH said the only way to unwind is if in that first year the person who lost it brings suit.. no going to happen very often.. if at all.. happened to us ONE time in 30 straight years of buying tax sale props..

I also like The Real Estate Guys Radio Show podcast that is a different format and also extremely helpful.Brandon's webinars here on the site are also full of great ideas and valuable content.Good luck to you!!

Again, all of the numbers I have ran on 2-4 unit properties in BK provide an extremely low cash flow and allow for little to no room for vacancy.

We're young and ready to be extremely involved (buying, rehabbing, renting, etc all of the above).

They are extremely helpful and filled with great info. 

And especially in SF, with rent control and urban density, you literally get extreme and absurd situations like a multi million dollar condo literally RIGHT NEXT DOOR to a rent controlled flat where the immigrant inhabitants (6 in a small 2BR) collect recyclables in their back yard.  

It's extremely easy to make a bad deal happen. 

Flipping is extremely expensive and most of your profit will go to those two.  

I bought an old house that is in extremely poor shape a couple months ago on mills mill for dirt cheap.  

No matter how many properties we looked at, he was extremely honest and gave me the direction I needed to find the right place.
