I've been tracing wholesalers in califonia for months, like nothing other state finding individual wholasalers in califonia is quite challenging I don't know if it's because the house prices are too high compared to other markets.

Self-proclaimed Section 8 guru's online claim to do the latter and then find Property Managers after they purchase the property in whatever state, but I don't know how real that is. 

Now, you need to figure out how to find deals and pay for them.

Is there anything you wish you had known when you began your real estate career? 

While that would be nice to build up a lot of money and save, however that would just push me back even further from starting my real estate future plans, careers, family, etc.

I am a retired USAF 20 year career and I have never used my VA loan eligibility, because it is a bad loan.  

One thing I’m trying to figure out is how to find good locations where property prices are relatively low, but rental demand is high.How do you identify these areas?

The combination of its growing tech & healthcare sector, long-term resilience to climate change, and relative affordability makes it an interesting place to start our real estate journey.I spent a big part of my career in hospitality real estate consulting at a Big 4 firm, but I left to explore new opportunities and decided it was finally time to take the leap into real estate investing.

I have personally been the guy who hasn't pulled permits and got caught...by far one of the worst experiences of my investing career.

It was the purchase that jump started my real estate investing career by providing a high consistent cash flow, and a large capital gain 4 years later.
