After reading your post here I have two pieces of advice that hope you will take to heart.First, find local mentors right there in the East Bay area that you can meet with for coffee or lunch or something of the like.  

Lets sit down and grab some coffee or a bite to eat.

I owe you a cup of coffee or something.

But hey, at least we’ll always have the mountains nearby and the sun shining 300 days a year!

One of the RV storage locations nearby has very cheap parking (they park for you, very tight); but they have onsite maintenance facility and services.No Weekend in/out though; and they close at 6pm.CONSIDERATIONS FOR RV OR VEHICLE STORAGEA.

Looking to get in touch with local professionals, experts and investors in Bay area or Central valley .Anyone in the area or nearby areas ,please ping here so that we can start conversation ?

The master includes a large walk-in closet in addition to an on-suite bathroom complimented with a jet-powered walk-in tub.Community features include the nearby Horsemen’s center Rock climbing park, with BMX course, and hiking trails.

Is there anywhere near by that I can get a buy and hold deal for more toward 150k or do I need to find another way to build more capital first?

This makes a decision to leave emotionally difficult.The numbers $300K+ value, nice neighborhood, park across street, forest preserves nearby, friends all around area from 5 min to over an hour away.

I was wondering if there are any local investors that would want to meet-up for a coffee sometime within the next month (I would wear a mask).
