Hi everyone, looking for some thoughts from members of biggerpockets.Our situation is:We are a married couple, live in the Bay Area for last 4 years (moved to US from Ukraine), have no kids, work in tech, getting tired of renting (losing money) and thinking on what we should do next.

He said " are you kidding me you don't need it ".

@John Paul Whaley the East side, depends on what neighborhood you're in, North side if you're closer to the university area, you're more likely to find a steady stream of tenants (college kids).

I looked at a lot of things when I selected Oak Grove, but schools was not one of them (I don't have kids so its not something I think about, still bad on me).

It's a long haul plan... gives me the option to move in when my kids fly the coop but also yes I think the rent justifies the extra expense depending on what that comes out to. :)Be nice to get someone else's direct experience - did you build fresh or convert something like a garage?

For all occupants, even the 18 year old kid. 

I am Jerry. 29 years old with 2 kids and a fiance.Appraised Value - $185,000 at purchase.

Hey,I am looking to start investing in Real Estate and crest some real wealth for my kids.

If you have kids, schools might be important to you.

Any kids or pets?
