Kim, try reaching out to @Steven Hamilton II, he assisted multiple clients of mine and is local to you. 

I represent a client with a variety of properties under management. 

But I strongly believe in everything I say above.)I also have a meetup in Oakland with just fun stuff - totally not related to real estate.

This client does property management by himself but will pay to find a tenant - one month rent.

What I wrote above does not create an attorney/client relationship between us.

There needs to be an "Occurrence" that the policy needs to respond to.No policy covers wear and tear.Example - If a strong wind storm damages the roof, and water starts leaking into the building from that damage, the damaged roof and water damage would be covered. 

Whenever you need help getting started, don't hesitate to reach out, I have a strong connection with a hard money lender, and I personally sell investment properties in need of rehab.

We had a girl who was head over the heels about the place at our open house, but her realtor has advised her not to put it under contract because he is confident it will get a low appraisal due to the appraiser only using in project comps (he also mentioned that it is a VA loan, and they are very strict about staying in the project).I also believe that the realtors are not even showing this to their clients because of the above reason (though we have had about 4 showings).  

Take the classes needed to get a RE license, pass the test, hang your hat under a RE broker, build up a client base, and start buying and selling RE for them to get hands on experience.

I'm planning to keep going from there, I have a background in software development so I feel I am strong in analysis and so far I am enjoying the experience of researching investment properties, etc.
