Instead you will cash flow right out of the gate and appreciation is faster in those states with TLC properties or adding things like an ADU, or Carriage home on a bigger lot.Most of my investors that live in CA purchase in those states listed above and in most cases its easy to introduce them to local Seasoned realtors Contractors, Handy Men/Women that can help them save money and feel secure about the distance from home to REI.

They will see a large pipeline of local deals, and they will buy some as rentals, flip others, and flip the contract (wholesale) a handful where it makes sense.

I financed this property using down payment funds from 403B and a local commercial bank.

To build momentum, I’d start small, assemble a reliable local team, and ensure the properties I invest in have strong fundamentals.

You could find your local wholesaler ( basically what a land flipper is) and ask about what CRMs they are using and also talk CPAs.  

Latest is prop 33.  3rd attempt to pass this with aids health foundation having spent mid $40m last I looked.  

I personally think it is best to work with local professionals with a good track record. 

I financed this property using down payment funds from 403B and a local commercial bank. 15% down from personal funds. 85% down from community commercial bank. 3yr balloon, 20yr amortization, 7% interest rate.

I have been following the Real Estate Investing industry for a while and just recently decided to put my focus into it and implement a plan I had in mind for years.So I went down to Puerto Vallarta I put together a team of local realtors, brokers, contractors, property managers and a lawyer. 

We would love to connect with investors, as well as investor-friendly realtors and property managers in the northern Alabama region.Any insights into the local market or recommendations for neighborhoods to explore further would be greatly appreciated.
