Condo or townhouse in East bay
Hi Bigger pockets crew
I'm from the Bay Area and considering to buy a condo or town house in the east bay with my fiancée. I’m looking into using this as our primary residence as a newly weds (will get married in May) and will be our starter home. I already have a SFH I bought with my sister also in the Bay Area but this one is just for me and the future wife. We will keep the SFH with my sister and family.
My budget is a little tight at $350K and knowing that my target area Fremont, Newark, Union City are prime areas i may end up getting a condo or townhouse that need some tlc. I also wanted to have some equity build in to grow wealth, and I can have a good friends contractor to help fix the place. I just don’t buy into the idea of paying $500K for a top class condo or townhome. Wanted to get insight from you folks if this is feasible and if you have any leads off market that will help me land my starter home.
Thanks in advance!
