It sounds like you and your husband have a great start with your Airbnb venture in California, but it’s understandable to feel stuck with so many options in real estate investing.

My husband and I purchased 3 properties in CA over the years and recently exchanged into 6 rental properties.

I'm Miguel Romero from Ontario, California, passionate about real estate investing for about 3 months now.

All of my customers in NJ, NY, CT, CA, WA and other states are all buying in those states as well as a few others.The price to cash flow ratio is going to be better in those states as well as having a higher inventory of both single family and multifamily rental homes.

Prices are getting close to California levels and it might be difficult to find tenants with all the competition out there.

My California tenant has initiated his monthly rent payment ($2100) to pull from his Chase account on March 14 through my Avail PM system, but I will not be receiving it until March 19. 

Bruce operated in CA, as I do now.

I'm currently based in California FWIW.Detroit has a lot going for it: affordable properties, a solid rent-to-price ratio, and a ton of neighborhoods with strong rental demand.
