new from Southern California

[Nate Waters]

Greeting BP community! I found this site a few days ago and can't stay away! There is fantastic information on this site and I look forward to learning from everyone. With any luck, some day I will have a wealth of info to share and pay it forward.

I live in Yorba Linda, CA (Orange County). I have 1 SFH rental now but I am looking to invest in multi-family properties. I'm currently looking in SoCal but the market seems tough (high entry $$ for low NOI) so I am open to other areas.

I would appreciate any answers to this newbie questions: How and where do I start my search? What city/state have you found recent good investments?

Thanks and I look forward to getting to know you.

Nate

Nate Waters Welcome to BP! There's those on here that think fleeing California for other states is the way to go, and those of us that think the appreciation here is solid, so try to find opportunities here. It all depends on what you're looking for. Marco Santarelli will be happy to tell you about the pros of other areas (I'm sure he's going to owe me a referral fee one day! LOL)

We are builders, so our viewpoint is somewhat different than those strictly investing to hold, etc.

No matter what your strategy, you'll find help here! Jump in and ask away! Also, you might want to fill out the keyword alerts, read the Beginners Guide (top of page click Learn), and please... upload a photo to your profile so we can see who we're talking to.

HAVE FUN!
