Well, if I'd known that, I'd have advised differently!

I actually was given a house in Oakland in the late '90s and oh what a mess it was!

It would have taken more than I had to fix-it so I know what you mean.

It was in the Santa Fe neighborhood.

Today it is worth close to $1 million and it is a dump!

Head north if you can, that is what I did and number of years ago however.

If you'd like info. as to where to head in northern Calif. let me know as I'm pretty sure I can help you.

Take care and btw, I don't blame you one bit!!
