I was born and raised in CA. It's so heartbreaking to see what is happening to it. A recent poll says that 46% of the people plan on leaving the bay area. Let's do our own poll (FOR CALIFORNIANS or those that recently left in the past 5 years)
- Do you live in California?
- Have you lived in California in the past 5 years?
- If so, where?
- Will you be staying or leaving?
- Why?
- What is your full time income producing job?
- Yes for 3 more days.
- Yes
- Born and raised in Los Angeles and lived in Sacramento and Santa Rosa.
- Leaving in 3 days, going to Austin Texas
- For new opportunities and experiences and lower cost of living
- Full-time Real Estate Investor and Realtor, previously, an Accountant.
For what it's worth, my opinion is that I don't think California is going bust anytime soon. I think it will always be a desirable place to live and do business just based on the weather alone, so that will always draw people to CA.
Also, all those people who say they "plan on" leaving are most likely just paying lip service to leaving, almost like how everyone you meet says they want to invest in real estate or flip houses, because it's sounds so cool. It just sounds good to talk about or fantasize about or even to threaten about, if you're mad at "the man" or the system or your job or the county or...whatever you're mad at. These people never actually go anywhere, though, they just talk.

@Anton Ivanov this is very very inspiring but how would you recommend someone go about doing the same thing if they don't have a high income, nor a large savings/inheritance to jump start things and are just getting started in today's high market rather than in a low market? Do you recommend those folks wait until the market goes down or just take a reeeeeeally long time to save and leverage lower value homes?

The low entry point of Detroit was interesting to me too, until I learned that there is often no good exit strategy. A good exit strategy is highly dependent on the location.

@Jenelle H., thanks for the invite! I WANT to go, but will be out of town - Feb 6th is my birthday and I'll still be in Tahoe for the superbowl. I'm assuming the meetups are monthly? If so, I'll clear my calendar for March!
Yep, the meetings are monthly. I think the next one might already be scheduled so you can RSVP on the link I sent you above.
@Justin Hayman And anyone else from the area, you may want to come to the next Sonoma County Investors meeting on Tuesday February 6th. The director of Permits will be the guest speaker. I will be there.
