East coast gets higher normally because of foreclosure risk.. not the risk of foreclosure per se but if you have to in some states it can take years.

Check out this great thread by Chris Piper at https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/862964-wholesaling-101-how-to-wholesale-for-beginnersI posted a link to it on my own recent thread, which you might also find useful, it has links to some of the resources I have checked recently https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/93/topics/1197244-how-to-do-wholesaling-right-in-maryland-east-coast-and-nationwidePiper's thread is where I started my research and am very grateful to this person for dedicating his time to share so much of a valuable information.

During the past three years, a healthy proportion of those transactions were motivated by the sale of property in California or Washington/Idaho or Arizona/Nevada through a 1031 Exchange for coastal homes or multi family complexes along the Oregon Coast or I5 corridor. 

I bought a note from him for West Cleveland.

I feel for my East Coast friends these past few weeks..and coming in hot this week to California is a Heat Dome.

Obviously the closer you get the to coast lines and to resort areas the higher the price points get.If I had 80k and I was digging into my HELOC to get it, the most capital I'd want to tie up in one deal, the first deal is 30k - 40k max. 

I live in NYC but open to a lot of the mid-west/central markets given lower entry price.If you're looking to get started like myself, or even wants to invest together - feel free to reach out!

A ban on new ST rentals in the places where they'd be the most profitable (Lisbon, Porto, the Algarve and the coasts) was enacted by the previous government.

I'm currently living in Crown Point Indiana and hope to invest in surrounding Northwest Indiana (Hobart, Merrillville, Portage, Lake Station) and maybe eventually the South West suburbs of Chicago.I'm mostly interested in flipping single family homes and purchasing smaller multi families. 

I live in the West Town area of Chicago.
