Brian,
I really appreciate your post. I came across a different post you had made and am researching a new market to invest in. I live in Fresno CA, but would like to look for a different market to invest in for 3 reasons.
1. looking for a a less expensive market that has a higher cashflow returns per $ invested
2. find states and municipalities that are more business landlord friendly.
3. If/ when I move out of California, I don't want to be stuck paying the high income tax rates on my income. California will tax income coming in from other states if you live there or they will tax income made in the state if you live somewhere else.
I'm not a newbie investor and have been investing for about 18 years. would love to hear more about what you have learned in identifying the need to find a new market and how you went about finding the new markets you have shifted to.
Thanks in advance for any insights you are willing to share. also available to connect offline if that is preferable.
