I'm just beginning research into this market so if anyone has any insight into this area and what to know investing out of the country, I would appreciate it!  

Just looking to build a network, learn and share and investing strategies on SFR or rehabs in the bayarea or 1-2 hours out side the San Francisco market.

Having a partner can be a valuable asset when investing? 

I've spent hours reading books, articles, and listening to podcasts about real-estate investing.

He helped a friend with an impossible condo loan recently..And I might reach out about a personal Sarasota investment sometime soon..I've been Zillowing..lol Good luck! 

I have 8 doors that are investments.

Condos can be very good investments if done right.

I'm just starting out investing in RE but I want to make sure I'm doing all I need to do properly and legally.

@Ming Li HerreraRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Over the years we've really enjoyed spending time on Perdido Key and are considering an investment in a condo there.
