My Uncle Jim moved out to California in the 1960s, and he was an aspiring hippie, who wanted to get in on the dying afternoons of the Free Love movement. He was also an enterprising pot dealer, who wound up doing truly well for himself out here, after moving to Canada briefly to dodge the draft, he moved back in addition to settled down in San Francisco, but even back then it was a trendy, extravagant venue to live, although the house values have skyrocketed in the years since, and it’s because of Uncle Jim that I was able to get my foot in the door of the San Francisco real estate market, and back in the 60s house values in the Bay Area were a fraction of what they are today, so he bought several properties to use as rentals! Over the years he would pay money for houses in addition to apartment buildings. When he was ready to retire he started to sell off his San Francisco real estate holdings, in addition to allowed me to serve as the agent! This provided me with a fantastic deal of hands-on experience with San Francisco real estate, first with customers, in addition to later with other sellers besides Uncle Jim, and currently I would say that the San Francisco real estate market is as lucrative as it has ever been. Without the inside help of my Uncle, I never would have been able to get an experience with money home customers for house in San Francisco. Uncle Jim took all the money for houses he had made in addition to moved out to a tropical island to retire.
