New to Bay Area - Driving for Dollars & helping out

Hello Bay Area BP members,

I moved to Walnut Creek this past September from Oregon, and am eager to get to know the Bay better.  I don't really know the market, or the specific neighborhoods well, and was hoping to bounce ideas off local investors and do a little tangible driving for dollars work together to get the creative juices flowing. 

I've never visited Oakland, but am becoming increasingly interested in that area, as I've heard some positive speculation for that market.

It seems like there aren't a lot of investor opportunities in Walnut Creek, but I'd be curious to see if any could be found.  

If you're in the East Bay markets, I'd love to ask questions and see if there is any way I can help you.  I don't know what I don't know, and I would love to be a resource in any way I can!

Happy Holidays,

Ashley

    Welcome to California @Ashley Watkins! I was just in Walnut Creek today vising one of my projects. Nasty weather to be driving in. It should remind you of Oregon!  Unless you lived West of the Cascades.  I lived in Portland and Eugene for a few years. Be that as it may, what kind of "investor opportunities" are you looking for? I've done a few flips in the Walnut Creek-Pleasant Hill-Concord area, so those opportunities exist.

    Cheers
