Start the weekend off right! Join us for our first monthly coffee meeting at Sightglass Coffee on 7th.

This is an opportunity to mingle with fellow local investors in an informal setting (rather than an office in the FiDi). No agenda, no sales pitches, no Powerpoint slides or handouts!

Highly recommend BP Premium membership! Loving it so far.

@Danny Reed Welcome to BiggerPockets - you picked the right place to get a leg up in the tumultuous world of SF real estate investing. Tons of valuable knowledge & experienced investors on here!

@Tommy Hoang Thanks for the shoutout Tommy, much appreciated!

@Braden Evans yes - I'd ask the owner/agent directly in person if they are present. The Peninsula (San Mateo/Santa Clara Counties) generally are more landlord-friendly, just FYI.

@Braden Evans Which part of the Bay Area are you looking at? 

From my personal experience, almost all of the landlords (mostly in SF) that I personally know explicitly state no subleasing on their leases. 

However, as long as you're upfront & honest about your intentions with potential landlords, I'm sure there are some that would agree to your proposal.

@Jason Pabon Unfortunately won't be able to make it tomorrow night, but would love to attend the next one!

Looking forward to this!

@Scott Carrillo - I agree with other members, $600 sounds extremely reasonable. The average local cost I've seen is between $800-$1k. 

@Louis W. I would recommend avoiding any further contact with them from now on and letting your attorney handle everything.

I highly recommend either Clifford Fried or David Gellman - both are extremely well-versed in landlord-tenant laws in the SF Bay Area. I'm happy to PM you Clifford's cell if you'd like.
