I am new to bigger pockets, I am a licensed plumber in Northern California I would like to start obtaining rental properties 

😊CA is a pretty easy state to get wage garnishments, all the while interest in accruing on the judgement, and also you can get bank levies.

in CA there are companies 10x that size same with Phx  and other large markets with a lot of cash investors.

WEst coast  OR WA AZ NV CA etc is all cash on the barrel head there are no deposits and no over bids.. winning bidder presents the cashiers check and they have won the deal on the spot.

I'm working a lead and the seller gives me permission to visit the property after confirming a time with the tenant.

But the steps are the same, just find a property where you ca make the numbers work and that has good upside and go for it. repeat that as soon as you have the downpayment for the next one and keep going. 

This is the perfect example.We have been using the leses and other froms from WLB for over a decade and I have seen them getting updated over the years, so I somtimes throw out a package of forms and order new ones to be up to date, but they are so inexpensive, its a no brainer.WLB has a store downtown Milwaukee worth visiting: they have all sorts of landlord supplies you did not even know you needed from print all the way to parking signs and traffic cones.

It doesn’t matter that the property might be in CA or TX.
