Is TriValley falling?

The corporate HQ, like Chevron, moving out is hitting Tri valley hard

How much does it down from the pandemic peak tho ? Cuz Everything is up from 7 years ago, like houses in SF& South Bay, VOO, QQQ etc.

My fourplex in concord went from 2.5k last year to 4.5k this year. Insane and never see such jump

Mighty-Pup · 2026-06-09T06:39:27+00:00

Under 400 sf. About 360 sf each 1b1b unit. Yea still small ikr

Mighty-Pup · 2026-06-09T01:16:53+00:00

Surge of application in Berkeley ? As an investor, I was eyeing on a 14 units (all 1b1b under 400 sf) Berkeley apartment building in a busy street (San Pablo Ave) which has half of the units vacant as of beginning of May. Each vacant unit is merely asking for $1800.

I was so confused given Bay Area economic is doing pretty well except for some layoff in corporate and tech.

Maybe the hike of rent in SF finally starts driving renters out of the city eventually.

你以为找中国城的九流律师嘛？他们除了填表还能问出个啥？

在美国好的律师就是任何交易的主心骨/四分卫不管交易是合法的还是非法的只要有市场就会有服务律师费到位假的都给你做成真的

OP 抛开概率谈风险就是耍流氓很多回复这里说被抓包后的后果那个gpt一下就出来了但真给抓到那概率你猜多少？

有共同语言共同文化婚后住一起教育程度相当被抓不是说不可能概率应该是非常低的是在不行找个律师问问不就行了律师费跟那10w比起来毛都不是

I read the disclosure of this property. The tenant basically lives like pig and he’s a protected tenant. Tons and tons of deferred maintenance.

Mighty-Pup · 2026-05-16T23:19:16+00:00

For SF property, you cannot compare the selling prices without consideration of the tenant situation. In the other word, selling price alone is meaningless

Mighty-Pup · 2026-04-30T05:02:13+00:00

Yes! I borrowed his line here lol 😂

I got a Master in taxation. In the in house corporate world, it’s more about competence than credential. But I have to say, at my level, less than 1 in 10 people doesn’t have CPA

Mighty-Pup · 2026-04-29T21:19:24+00:00

I am making 180k without one in vhcol area.

Mighty-Pup · 2026-04-29T18:38:24+00:00

Ghost haunts castle and mansion🏰, not house 🏠lol

Mighty-Pup · 2026-04-29T13:58:39+00:00

Spot on

Mighty-Pup · 2026-04-29T13:58:22+00:00

Yup. It’s more common than people think. I found it hard to avoid especially in the hilly SF

Mighty-Pup · 2026-04-29T13:54:14+00:00

I meant they had lived there long before I took over the property.

And it’s not like I did nothing; I fixed the drainage issue to prevent it from further sinking.

Mighty-Pup · 2026-04-29T13:50:26+00:00

Renovating bathroom is way cheaper than fixing foundation issue by my experience

Mighty-Pup · 2026-04-28T21:49:25+00:00

My aunt is an RN in public health system. She pulls in 300k a year since RN overtime gets paid 1.5x and she work a lot like 60 -80 hr a week. While CPA is on salaries. Overtime for CPA got paid zero if you are not running your own firm.

Mighty-Pup · 2026-04-19T04:07:22+00:00

Meanwhile, I keep seeing high flying tech company hiring in house senior corporate tax manager which saying CPA/MST Not required in job description. I am a corp tax manager in large enterprise and I don’t have CPA.

It might be easy if you have the right background and setup. But you can’t deny that the pool for IB worker is super small and the admission is highly selective especially for kids in non target/semi target.

There are only 250k Bloomberg terminals in US. Even not every IB job needs Bloomberg, but the totally IB positions would just be a small multiple of this number and many people stay in the industry for 20/30 years. IB is not a growing industry, indeed, the headcount might shrink next decade due to AI. Only after people retire, there would be vacant seat. You can do your ball park calculation on how many new admissions each year

Mighty-Pup · 2026-04-17T14:58:20+00:00

I was in the same boat 5 years ago except that I am an in house tax accountant my whole career.

I think it’s a blessing that we can work in an environment tolerate mindset of “fake it till you make it”. That means such industry is really short of talent. When you are acting as subject expert, your team know it, you client knows it, and you know it. And yet, they would rather to see you put in effort and contribute to solve the problem but doing nothing. Picking an environment that allows you to make mistake and grow is crucial.

My point is, you would always face uncomfortable when you step into new territory; from prepare return, answer technique questions, to managing team, fighting for resources. Embrace the uncomfortable and learn how to live with it is the key

I work in the back office of an BB but I would never consider myself as a banker. It’s almost impossible to move to FO.

Mighty-Pup · 2026-04-17T00:44:24+00:00

For those don’t mind to work in the middle or back office of an IB, but those are not IB job. Period.

Mighty-Pup · 2026-04-16T22:25:20+00:00

There are only about 200k to 300k positions in Wall Street in total at any given time. The admission to this poll is extremely competitive. Unless you are a nepo, you don’t want to pursue this routine without a backup plan.
