I'm in western Pennsylvania but have not been able to get deals that match the 2% rule here either. 

MYSELF also a licensed RE broker since 1975.In land deals I did in the late 70s to mid 80s .. much of it not only rural but remote back into Western Us national forest lands..

@Kent Ford Texas is not a market but a massive state nearly the size of Western Europe.

However I only know the western Oregon market and this type of RE wholesale would only work in the midwest or south where real estate isn't as crazy high demand/low inventory/above market value as Oregon is, so I can't apply my same parameters/experience/cost of renovations/what local buyers prefer/high demand neighborhoods vs slums etcMost RE programs have lots of reviews but this program seems to have no easy to find honest reviews from folks that are not connected to promoting it

I currently have a Proper policy on my vacation home in the mountains of Western NC, and I am tired of them increasing the rate so much.

I'm a real estate agent with New Western looking to connect with TRIAD Investors and do business together!

This may not be unreasonable for a real estate investor to do but since he lives in Hawaii with the highest long term property value appreciation in the western hemisphere, just something to think about? 

Be also mentally and emotionally prepared for the folks that think just because this is not your primary home, it's somehow less of a catastrophic event for you because others did lose their primary homes.That's why it's vital for you to form support networks with people who are in your same boat - ideally in the same community.This truly pains me to share - but most of the disasters I'm seeing across Western NC are going to be considered flood events and if you do not have a separate flood policy you will likely get no coverage.

Research areas like Central Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Western Massachusetts for affordable entry points and long-term appreciation.

I was looking at a few of the North GA and Western NC mountain towns.I think it will boil down to what are your goals, what kind of property you are able to purchase, and how you manage/market it.
