@Jonathan Olivares There are many different possibilities.There are a ton of hobby investors who are completely happy flipping a small number of properties, while the other end of the spectrum may consider 3 properties a drop in the bucket.There's also the market differences that Account Closed mentioned, where the property values may push the investor in one direction or the other.

Another very important point: when you are calculating the ARV, make sure you are staying on the conservative side of the spectrum, e.g. among 10 comps, don't take the average of the top 3 comps, take the average of the bottom 3 comps - because these are the types of comps that the lender will consider when they calculate the ARV in order to maximize the likelihood that the property they are approving for a hard money loan really does end up selling.

You will find professionals in many areas, not just REI-related.In my group, we cover the full spectrum from attorneys to accountants to brokers (In IL, they're all brokers now, at some level - we don't have "agents" anymore), trades people, contractors, private lenders, ... you name it.We're not a REIA, as such.

@Divye Kapoor I primarily chose to invest in class A, hence I'm at the low end of the spectrum.

I view it as something of a spectrum which mainly depends on how passive your real estate involvement is.

By day, I am a certified public accountant with a broad spectrum of experience ranging from financial statement assurance services to income taxes and beyond.  

Sometimes when people go through trauma they go to the complete opposite side of the spectrum which, in my opinion, is what Dave Ramsey did.

Just looking for a broad spectrum of experiences. 

Median in Sacramento is like $300-325k so you're nowhere near the higher end of the spectrum unfortunately.But, you could definitely find some diamonds in the coal mine looking in C grade neighborhoods.

Are there any multi families in that area and if so what's the cheapest end of the spectrum?
