great event.. Bruce Norris was worth the cost of admission.  some take aways from his presentation.

1. No major melt down in the near future.

2. mortgage market much stronger for obvious reasons  ( no liar loans real world underwriting)

3. markets would need 40% of the inventory on MLS to be foreclsoures to cause a major correction ( this is not happening).

4. He feels cap rates and multi family is the one segment that is frothy and could correct. 

5. in a subtle way he was saying when profits avail themselves it can be good to take it off the table.

Whats he doing now... his normal short term lending and he is now building some new construction.. as that is exactly what I do.. I felt like I was personally on the right track as well.. Great presentation.

    Excited to attend for the third time. There is always a wealth of information and awesome networking at this event. Looking forward to learning about what other multi-family investors are doing at this stage in the market and connect with people who are pursuing this strategy.

     Olga, 
    Thanks for the shout out, and welcome back out for the third time! :) The OG!!
    Be sure to connect with Brian Burke, Minh Le, Anthony Addessi, that all invest in multifamily. Minh and Anthony are local. Brian is investing out of state. 

    Are you looking locally or elsewhere? 
    We'll have a lot of investors out from the Greater SF Bay, from Santa Rosa out to Walnut Creek and Stockton, down to Santa Cruz, and of course San Jose, Palo Alto, San Francisco, and my favorite ever... Oakland!!!

    Saturday is a bit more focused on out of state investing, and Sunday will have more local-focused breakout sessions. 
    So pick your favorites, and we'll be a little more on time with the agenda this year ;)

    Did you download the networking app yet? 

    Looking forward to it this weekend!!
    Feel free to tag a friend if you know anyone who wants to come..

    Thanks for your hard work :)

    Boy the app is great and I am really looking forward to this weekend.  

    I would love to meet a few folks on Friday and start the weekend early over dinner and/or a cocktail. 

     #1) What is the reason/goal that got you into real estate? 

    I got into Real Estate as a Realtor 12 years ago. A few years into the business I added to the mix of selling homes and started helping a handful of client as a Property Manger with SFH in the bay area and realized I was really good with managing tenants and tenant issues. None of my clients had a to deal with evictions and tenants always paid rent on time. It was then that I realized I had a job I was good at and needed to take advantage of what I knew and start investing in myself. I love building relationships in real estate, creating wealth for my clients and using my hard earned money to travel as well as enjoy the bay area.

    I now have 5 properties in my portfolio and am currently trying to decide if it makes sense to build a duplex on land I currently own in Oakland. New build is a new area of real estate and I need to educate myself more so I can make an informed decision. I would love to meet anyone who has experience in this area of real estate. 


    As a Realtor, besides my normal escrows, I am selling more and more off market properties.  One resent escrow was to an investor who reached out to me in a private message on BP. (The power of networking on BP indeed!). 

    Yesterday I previewed a SFH off market near the Oakland Zoo that is a 2 bd 1 ba with a converted garage that has a pitched roof, full bath and a sink with room to add the kitchen, easily turning this into a studio. Seller says he will sell it off market for $600k. If anyone is interested, please send me a message or look for me on Saturday.

    Is anyone interested in meeting up with a group of us who are flying in from the Midwest Friday night? We were thinking we'd love to get all the networking in that we can while in town. We are currently looking for a location to meet up and get a few extra hours hearing about what everyone is doing on the left coast and share our experience from the multiple midwest markets we are currently active in!?

     Either day is fine Mark. Whichever you want. 

    1 day tickets are good for either day.
