I really like where you are coming from. It has seemed in the past that the coats have the greatest swings and swing faster, having the rest of the country following after. I know in my market we have recently seen price reductions but houses are still selling pretty quickly. 

@Karl B.

I just read through that old forum and it amazes me how ludicrous some people sound. People always say that a prenup is setting the marriage up for failure and about money....No it is about protecting assets you worked hard for before you decided to marry someone. That is the problem with our society though. People think they deserve something that they never even earned.

I know personally if I married a girl that was successful or her family had money before we got married I would encourage her to get one. What she did or what her family did before we were married is all hers to protect. I know together we would make money together after the marriage. 

From what i have read in the previous forum is people that are against prenups are ones that got married young when they both brought very little assets to the relationship and the people that brought less to the relationship then the other person. 

@Scott Titus

Hi Scott. Do you know off the top of you head if you got a prenup and then were looking to move to another state. If your first prenup was not well written can you modify the one you got or get a new one that takes priority to the first even after your married? I will do some research on this but wanted to see the rules around this. I am assuming once you get a prenup it is bound and any altercations to it voids the prenup. 

What I am hearing is it is worth the money to pay a lawyer who specializes in this area to make sure it is rock solid. 

@Karl B.

I love the way you think through things!

@Chaz Mathias I totally agree with you that if someone comes in with more assets they should have every right to protect that. 

Does anyone have any advise about weather putting your assets in a trust or LLC would be the best way to protect your assets on top of a prenup?

@Caroline Yu

Thank you Caroline. You seem very knowledgable and have some great points. I have been looking and will continue to look until I find something that meets my criterial. I have also began to look outside CA for find better cash flow. 

@Jason Graves

Hi Jason. 

I just moved from SD. Where did you invest there?

@Account Closed

Would you take the time to talk to me on the phone? I would like to hear more about your experience!

@Stephen Kunen

I will take a look at the article and I also think there is some truth to your point. I am just going to start searching and putting in offers that make sense to what will work for me to be cash flow. I probably will not get a lot but I may come across someone that needs to sell fast. I also might try to start looking for off market deals!

@Omar Khan

I am young and naive. I have so much to learn from people like yourself and others in the industry. I have begun to network in the area but I will dig in more. I know a lot of people in the industry that are always willing to help which is awesome. I have not yet been to a meet up but I have heard from many people that they are salesy.

I am in a situation where I just graduated from college with a finance degree. I worked full time throughout college so I didn't have student loans and was fortunate enough to land a job at a fortune 500 company in my second year of college so I actually came out of college with a good amount of money in the bank. I worked during the day and went to school at night.

I just turned 24 and have some money but cannot find a deal that can cash flow in my area. There was an average 2 bedroom 2 bath house that just sold in my town for 800K. People are buying over asking price or at asking price and anything that comes on the market is quickly bought up.

It seems like my only option to even find a decent deal is to go out of state and I personally do not believe that is the best idea for my first investment.

What would you said someone in my situation should do?
