This works if the tenant is a good paying tenant & you have to have a gentle touch.  

Feel free to get in touch when you are back.

Can anyone tell me what they know about that area and which areas are seeing growth vs areas not to touch?  

If you're in it that's one thing but your post doesn't come across that way.Most builders I know won't touch a single structure project unless it's super high end ($1.5M +) because there is just simply not enough margin in it for them. 

So I had to pay thousands to draw plans, get approvals etc before a bank would even touch it.Good luck and hope it goes well!

911 Is a given but I would not go inside or touch the person.

Thanks to all and hope to touch base soon,Sihao

Hi Sarah,I haven't been especially active on bigger pockets, but I am an active real estate investor in the Bay Area and thought I'd get in touch before doing a surprise drop-in on the meet-up on 11/18!

I realized that the best way for me to get any deals is to spend money marketing and advertising directly to owners.I just signed a lease for my first office space and will begin marketing and advertising shortly.In the meantime, I am looking to network with other like minded real estate investors and would appreciate any and all advise and or feedback.Thanks for listening and hope to stay in touch!

I'm originally from Vancouver, Washington but my wife is from San Jose, so this is where I am now.I've been a residential mortgage broker for the last 10 years and am starting to explore multifamily investing (5+ units) and property management to get my fee wet in this arena.If your from San Jose or the Bay area, I would love to touch base with you and network to see if we have similar goals and aspirations for financial freedom.Looking forward to connecting with people all around the world,Jeff
