Hello all, 

I have experience buying properties in San Francisco and in the East Bay to live in and renovate. I had a condo that my husband and I bought and renovated in 2012, lived in for three years then sold for profit. We then bought a house in the Berkeley area that was inhabited for the last 20 years by a hoarder. That one we renovated and then sold recently. Now, we are getting ready to do work on our current home and need to look for a second property close to work, which we can live in for a year and then rent. We are both here looking for more advice on buy and hold properties in San Francisco/Bay Area and possibly looking into buying income properties in Southern California as well.
