Looking for 2-4 unit in Oakland, CA

[Nathanael Troupe]

Hi All,

I'm starting a search for a 2-4 unit property in Oakland, Ca in the general area along highway 13. Any suggestions on a starting point or initial contact?

Thanks!

@Nathanael Troupe you plan is a very good way to start.  The only suggestion I would give you is to stay at 3 units or less in Oakland.  Rent control applies to 4 unit buildings.  At the start of your investment road, you should keep as many of the variables down as possible.  There are many subtleties in the RC laws in Oakland, so take the time to learn them on their website and you can always go into the RAP center on a walk-in basis and ask questions.
