"CA Real Estate Investor" . Cover up?

[Bryan Hogsett]

My PM in NC referred to me as "A California Real Estate Investor" multiple times in somewhat of a condescending way like I was rich.  I felt like she didn't get me fair bids and even think she lied to me about getting multiple quotes when selling and needing a new roof.  Does anyone out there shelter the fact where they live when investing out of state because of this reason?  

Just a thought, thanks.
