Welcome to SoCal, Kendall!  Side effects include (but are not limited to): great food, plenty of sunshine, culture/diversity, and tons of entertainment!

Hi Bee,

I love your vision!  I work in Southern California (Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside counties), and I have a friend who works in commercial that lives in Texas that has been tempting me to invest in Austin!  It's all about building your team to support your goals and analyze if things are good deal or not.  Please let message me if I can help!

Hey Jazmine,

I love your vision!  If I were in your shoes, I believe it comes down to 2 things:

- can my focus / energy go to long-distance investing (does long-distance excite me? does this area excite me?)

- can you build a STRONG team that is honest, performs well and protects your investment?

David Greene talks about this extensively in his BRRRR book (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat). The team is everything, and its also where people get burned if they don't vet their team well.

Also, there are deals being made in your backyard too.  I'm here to help either way!

I'd love to help, Chris!  What do you need?

Hey Nick, I'm in the Inland Empire.  What are your goals?  I'm here to help!

Hey Jared,

I'm in the Inland Empire too, and I live in Temecula.  If you want to grab a coffee or check out a real estate investor meetup, reach out any time!

I agree with a lot of what is being said here, Nathaniel!  I lean toward areas close to colleges and the downtown scene because they tend to be highly desired and, in the event of a decline, they are the first areas that the city wants to improve.  Beyond that, my advice is "go with what you know."  You grew up in the area so you where YOU'D like to live - that's a significant start!

Reach out if I can help!

hey! I'm looking for someone in Riverside County, San Diego County or Orange County that is savvy with taxes, bookkeeping and business consulting for a young investor with big dreams! Anyone know a good CPA around Temecula, California? Thanks a million!

I'm diving in to Real Estate Investing as a broker/wholesaler (upon getting licensed in the next few weeks), and my first meetup is this week.
How do I network and make connections when I'm not a broker quite yet, haven't done a wholesale deal and I have no business cards?
(I'm planning to just attend the meeting to listen and soak it in, but I know people will ask me to introduce myself, etc.  I know that I'm still very early in the process, but I just want to get in there! haha! )
