Vegas Landlord living in the Bay Area and investing out of state!

[Brent M.]

Hello!  My name's Brent and I recently moved to the SF Bay Area from Las Vegas.  In Vegas, over 10 years, I bought and rehabbed multiple SFHs with the intent of establishing a long term portfolio.  I survived the crash with no foreclosure or bankruptcy and am finally reaping the rewards of fixer uppers I invested in after 2009.  I'm selling several properties (At market price, wholesalers :-)) in order to invest in a higher cash flowing market.  Currently researching Pittsburgh, Ohio, and parts of Michigan.  I work a regular job that I love out here, so RE is just a part of my investment plan- albeit a big part.  Would love to here from anyone with insight on the areas I'm looking at.  Focusing on cash purchases of SFHs and multis in B neighborhoods.  Wish I'd discovered BiggerPockets years ago!
