As others have said you will have problems with financing if you purchase as an entity versus two people who will be living there.

I will be moving to the Bay Area beginning sometime around end of July for a full time position as a Systems Analyst.

Rather, learn proven systems and work them. 

Anyway, can I get some input on the good and bad on purchasing a property represented by a Property Mgt company versus a Real Estate agent ?

I am seriously leaning to multi family to increase the amount of doors faster versus single door SFR's.  

Taxes on this property if in Montgomery county would be aprox 1100 to 1400 a year, insurance would run 800 year  so you need to make sure there is not lots of deffered maintenance ,new heating system 3000 and new roof 6000, etc. you could eat up your cash flow quickly on these items.

I work in VB as an IT system administrator.

He says they sell the mortage a few month later and gain a higher % selling it versus charging the buyer upfront.

It took about 2 weeks, I was then approved for $24K in the form of 3 credit cards all with a 0% interest rate for at least one year on all purchases as well as the ability to do balance transfers.They have a system in which they feed your profile that gives them the names of the banks and investors with highest percentage for your approval, then they only make application to them.  

He has a system that seems to be working for him and it is exciting to think I can do it to.
