Is California a bad place for REI?

[Tadd Bennett]

Hey everyone I'm relatively new to REI and have been cramming as much knowledge as i can over the last few months. I'm highly motivated but the more i research and the more people i talk to i hear the same thing. "You should move", "Theres no money in California", "Start investing out of state first to get started". Now I'm at the point in my life where i would not have a problem moving for greener pastures but not totally excited to jump up and leave my family( altho i will). I myself have leaned more towards Wholesaling to start out and get my feet wet but would like to hear my fellow BP members thoughts and opinions. Thanx, Rian
