Chris, I am in San Pablo, Oakland and Richmond.

I have not found a single multifamily property that even comes close to the the 50% rule etc.Thats why I plan on getting a SFR and then just coughing up the 25-30% and invest in a property somewhere elsewhere (maybe san jacinto/hemet or vegas who knows) when I save up enough.I know you're pretty close to me, what do you think?

That's why I suggested if I target areas such as Danville, CA 500k plus house with little equity is still more attractive to the agent then some property in San Leandro.

I flipped one in the San Fernando Valley that I bought for $60k.

I live in a very desirable area 15 - 20 minutes from San Francisco and I believe the purchase prices are about as low as they are going here in this small town.....

Depending on the county you're dealing with, you may submit an additional form or simply state on the deed (we used Grant Deeds vice Quit Claim Deeds) that the transfer is to a "wholly owned entity" and that should avoid any transfer tax.Once again, this is how it works in California (namely San Diego and Riverside Counties), so double-check with your attorney regarding the details in PA.

My name is Brian Davis and I'm the business development manager for Entrust in San Diego.

We have properties in Oakland, San Pablo and Richmond.

I believe every square foot around Houston is conveyed without oil rights, but might be different near San Marcos.

San Diego has actually improved.
