San Francisco first time home buyer

Hello. My name is Derek. I am a 34 years old and am looking to invest in my first property in the Bay Area in the the next 6 months to a year (working on improving my credit score first). In the mean time, I would like to learn as much as I possibly can before I start to seriously look at homes. So I am currently in the market for an experienced real estate investment mentor who lives in the Bay Area. I work 30 to 40 hours a week so definitely have plenty of time to contribute to helping this persons business in return.

Hey @Derek Fahy,

I suggest you definitely start hitting the pavement and shaking hands at the Meetsups in San Francisco and around the Bay. You might meet that investment mentor you are looking for! Look these up on your meetup app or meetup website.

- Bay Area Real Estate and Note Investors (San Francisco) (Usually hosted at Vanguard Properties)

- Bay Area Multi-family Investing Meetup (San Francisco) (Usually hosted at New York and Life Company)

- Foreclosure Investor Tour 

- San Jose Real Estate Networking Club

- Milpitas FLIP Mastermind

- Sunnyvale Buying Houses for Profit Group

If you want to learn more about San Francisco specific real estate, don't hesitate to reach out to me for coffee! I'm always glad to help a fellow San Franciscan!

Sincerely,

Gi'angelo

    Derek Fahy do you know what kind of investing you want to do with this property? House hack? Flip? Do you know what cities or parts of cities you are interested in and willing to live in? Do you have enough income from your day job that immediate cash flow is not necessary?
