Hi @Steven Holt

There are people from all over BC on here. I live on Vancouver Island and have a few investments on the island here and a few in Prince George as well. 

The lower mainland is a tough place to find cash flowing deals which forces a lot of investors to look elsewhere in BC. 

Port Alberni is still one of the most affordable places on the Island, rents are fairly high with a very low vacancy rate. Further north on the island (past Campbell River) property is affordable as well, but a lot of those communities are dying. Nanaimo is a bit more expensive but is growing and has a great future.

As for the rest of BC, places like Kelowna have gotten a bit pricey, but people are still making investments work there. Places like Williams Lake and Quesnel have opportunity, but Price George has about the same prices and is a much larger/more stable city. 

Feel free to ask questions if you find a market that interests you!
