Dan Dalby from SF Bay Area

Hello!  I am a High School math/computer science teacher in the SF Bay Area.  I love my job, but teachers pay doesn't pay the bills in the area.  I'm looking for a way to invest what money I have and create cash flow for the long term.  I was a finance major and a credit manager/ adviser in a former professional life so I have some understanding of the numbers.  Investing remotely has my interest at the moment due to the high prices in my local area.  What I'm having trouble with is finding good areas across the country to invest in.  I'm interested in investing in housing in good neighborhoods even if that means sacrificing some cash flow in the short term.   

I've been a long time listener to the bigger pockets podcast and have been wanting to jump into this for a few years.  After years of lobbying, I finally got the green light to put our investment money into real estate after talking my wife into reading "Rich Dad, Poor Dad".  Thank you Robert!

OOS could be a profitable investment but I prefer to invest in commercial multifamily within a few hours drive - Stockton, Sacramento, etc. So that I can touch and be abit more hands on in my REI. Even though we have a team of property managers, contractors, etc, nothing beats being able to drive by the property on a weekend to check up on it.
