California Wholesalers / Wholesaling Out Of State

[Cristian Gaona]

Hello everyone, 

When starting wholesaling in a state like California, is it best for somebody starting out to pivot wholesaling/investing out of state? I've reached out to some lists with little to no luck and the majority of home owners are asking for a premium regardless of their situation. I've been targeting NorCal markets now for a couple of weeks running ARVs between 70-80% with no luck.

Is it appropriate to believe I would potentially receive a lower cost per contract & increased motivated lead flow doing the same in out of state, slightly more stagnant markets?
