@Frank R. 

They are good tenants, so that sounds like the correct route to go. Thanks!

We are about to close on a triplex in Fresno CA, which has 2/3 untis occupied. 1 of them has security deposit on file, and the other doesn't (family friend of past owner) 

I cant find anything that covers this situation, and wonder if anyone knows what kind of time frame I can require a deposit to be handed over? Thanks in advance for any help

Hello All,

I am currently in need of the following in Las Vegas NV Area.

1. A real estate Agent, who has history of working with out of town investors for buy/hold.

2. A PM company that is highly recommend and established.

I am assisting a company who's looking to start in Las Vegas with some buy/hold properties. 

If anyone has any questions feel free to ask or PM me.

First Welcome!

Living in N Cali I 100% understand with everything being to expensive. When I started I looked both in state and out, and settled with Fresno Ca for the first 3 buy/hold purchases. At the end of the day it all is based on your short and long terms plans. Also regardless of what you do be comfortable and take your time with each step in the process.

Good luck and feel free to ask any questions.

I own a duplex up in Sacramento. Looking to purchase another this year.

I'm originally from the Sacramento Area. When we started 14 months ago we were debating between there or Fresno. Would be curious where in Sac you bought and plan on purchasing your 2nd one as well?

Good Luck!

Although other states have cheaper properties the fact that they donate appreciate and have triple the cost in taxes and double insurance has prevented entrance.
We should meet up! I would love compare notes!

No states in particular, I have only just started to look and talk to others. Anytime you want to compare notes let me know.

@Mehran Kamari Thanks 14 months went by fast and feel like I still dont know close to enough to do anything outside of buy and hold. Will try my best to take in as much information as possible. Also would be curious (without giving up to much) what states/cities you invest in?

@Aaron Mazzrillo Fresno is working, but I don't feel for buy and Hold its the best ROI. As mentioned above I hope to learn other real estate strategies over the next few months, but im not set on doing anything one way only.

Hello BP, long time lurker who finally decided to sign up. I'm from Morgan Hill CA (San Jose) and have been getting my feet wet the past 14 months with real estate investing. All said and done my wife and I have 3 properties in Fresno CA, bought, renovated, and rented out. Its been a whirl wind but a blast at the same time. I Hope to get to know some other BP members, buy more properties, and have some fun along the way.

My goals in the next 24 months is to find a city (outside of CA) and acquire more buy and hold properties.

I'm still what I consider a rookie, but am willing to answer any questions, or take any wise words!
