@Travis HughesVery nice! Thanks for the info!

Hello all you BP'ers out there! As a new investor I'm still figuring out some solid websites and resources for analyzing a market or city I'm interested in investing in. I know I'm looking at things like population growth, leading employers, home sales prices, demographics, etc. Can anyone suggest good websites or companies that specialize in these metrics? What tactics do YOU use?????? Thanks in advance!!!

Great job!!! Let the games begin!!!

Hey @Cynthia Sandoval! I am a newbie investor from San Francisco but living in Oakland. I would love to talk to you about what you have done in the Bay Area market and beyond. I just bought my first property in the Fruitvale in Oakland and could use some tips...nice to meet you!

Hey Christian! Congrats on your recent investments! I'm born and raised in SF and have similar real estate goals. Would definitely like to connect n discuss real estate, turn key especially. Not sure how to DM tho..lol..

It's in the 46226 area code..

Hello BP! So im interested in buying my first turnkey property out of my area and was wondering if anyone out there could recommend a quality and trustworthy property inspector that I can hire to give the property a once over before I proceed with the next step in a possible purchase. Also any advice from people who have other forms of due diligence when buying out of state turnkey would be helpful..Thanks in advance!! 

Congratulations! It's obvious your hitting the ground running! Very inspiring! I just closed on my first property I bought undervalued and plan on rehabbing it and get some equity and move to the next...then the next..then the next.....happy investing!!!

Hey BP! Can anyone recommend a good contractor to do my gutters in the Bay Area? Oakland to be exact...Thanks in advance!!

Hello BP!!! So I just closed escrow on my first house that will be my primary residence in Oakland, Ca with the help and advice from the Bigger Pockets community and just wanted to say thank you! Now its back to business as I am interested in pulling a HELOC as soon as I can in order to start gobbling up more properties to buy and hold for cash flow as well as appreciation. My question is what are some of the best formulas and rules of thumb to analyze a perspective buy and hold deal for a SFR or multi? I have heard a patchwork of different rules and methods regarding perspective rent, capex, local tax laws, etc. I'd like to hear what you guys have done that has worked as well as not worked....Thanks in advance and happy investing!!!
