Interesting to hear what some people are doing to get into the housing market in SF.Long term planning, number crunching, and thinking about risk/reward deserves consideration.

Plus it is a job that will actually be challenging yet rewarding and which will do some real good in this world.2.13 an hour is about exactly what i earned in the early 70s bagging groceries..  

Of course it's nice to have, but taking advantage of the tax benefits and having a property where the equity is being built up, could be seen as your mini reward on the way to larger rewards on the back end.

.- There're other syndications that has a better risk-reward profile: mobile home, storage, NNN, industrial and medical receivables.- The return/risk of MF is very hyperlocal specific.

keep in mind rental real estate prices for risk reward.. everything being equal.  

Lastly, unlike the stock market, real estate can be depreciated for tax savings.We currently have $3,500 in high-risk/high-reward stocks, and pull 10% of all gains out as debt paydown. 

Yes, invest in a website (the website will be there forever) and focus on having that website convert traffic into leads with a credible website, Google will reward you for this and you will forever have leads coming to you.

This leads to more of my WHY, if I am going to work for 80 years I am going to work a W2 as little as I need to and put the rest of what would be my OT hours into my own businesses to grow them and reap the rewards in the future.

It was nothing more than a redistribution of wealth targeting landlords and rewarding tenants.

The home had tons of charm once it was polished up.
