Wanting to learn more about investing and how experienced home buyers view property opportunities. More than anything, I'd like to learn how experienced investors think.

  Hi,

  Thanks for the reply.

  House went pending before I could see it on Sunday, so will be interesting to see where the sale price lands.

  Appreciate the concern regarding safety and West Oakland. I agree there are rough spots, but W. Oakland at least in my experience is not where the gang/danger element is. That one is concentrated mostly in East.

  In any event, I'll continue looking for a duplex in Oakland.

  Thanks for the reply, your feedback is always appreciated.

  My current strategy in preparing for DP is to continue investing in Stocks / MF / 401K but shift some of the stock investment to MF in the event that I'll need to sell stocks to cover the DP.

  I may be overthinking this and should just continue with the plan and if a DP pops up, well then, handle that when the time comes.

  Thanks.

  Yes, saw that it's back on the market....I imagine it may have something to do with the section 8 that is currently living downstairs. I'll see if there was a specific reason.
