Out of State Investing for Californians?
Hi, my name is Hector and I decided to get into the Real Estate world last year. I live in Lancaster, CA and own a single family home rental. I have been a lurker on these forums and soaked up a lot of knowledge so thank you all.
I have been considering investing out of state and I was curious where other investors in California were investing in.
I would also appreciate if you could shed knowldege on a newbie as to how you determine if a certain market is desireable. Thanks again for all the help.
