@Stephen Horan - We invest in Shasta County. Feel free to reach out. I am always interested in grabbing coffee and meeting people with similar goals. 

 Hi Christian- Redding hasn't had any meet ups lately. But I have seen a few posts of people looking. Maybe its time to get the meet ups going again. 

Going with A. 1.Window in the kitchen. I own units with no kitchen window and have had tenants mention that it just feels weird. 2. Pantry. Don't give up the pantry. From a lady that gave up a pantry and then requested her husband to steal from the garage space to build a pantry :). 3. Island. nothing installed in your island. It gives you so much counter space. Another thing I wish I had done differently in my own home.

Who are you using in Redding? Its always nice to hear positive things about local people.

@Vince Violante where are you at in Northern California? 

I'm in the Redding area- I can refer you to a few commercial agents. How have you pulled comps for the property? For a 10 unit I feel like your numbers are high. I have seen 8 units going for under 1M. Just be prepared. What is the NOI? shoot me a message and I can get you the names.

There are pros and cons to both markets. Mt. Shasta to San Francisco is not a quick drive. So you need to treat both as long distant properties. Don't set yourself up for "Oh i can just drive up and change the light bulbs". Make sure you are calculating all your costs for snow expenses if you are looking that far up. Best of luck to your new adventure. 

Hi Cecil- We are also in Shasta County. We invest locally and enjoy being involved in the projects. A lot of conversations between you and your partner need to happen before you take the leap into investing. Along with some serious conversations with yourself. How involved do you want to be? What are you looking for equity or cashflow? Are you holding or flipping? and so much more. 

I saw a post not long ago about a meet up in Shasta County not sure if they will be doing more but its a good place to start. 

LA is in California.

But California is not all LA. 
You are using references that are discussing a single county.

I’m in California and invest completely in my local markets. What LA does has nothing to do with the way I manage my properties.
