The key for me wasn't to invest in the 'best place' but to know a market so well that a deal jumps off the page when it appears.

Quote from @Bud Meacham: The market is very competative in California.

@Blake Johnson If investors want to divide real estate holdings without triggering a large tax bill, the biggest challenge is that transferring assets out of a corporation is typically treated as a taxable sale at fair market value.

I am an experienced investor and unexpectely find myself managing a duplex myself and wondering if there is a small landlord (aka inexpensive) simple solution for marketing, background checks and lease creation that markets on zillow? 

I have a STR in Truckee that has done very well and I am looking for another STR, was thinking of the Sacramento market but I hear conflicting info on the permit process and the ability to rent it out for more than 90 days a year as a STR. 

Logan county has the highest price per square foot new build in our market right now almost $400 per square foot.

The partners between a realtor like myself (proficient in renovation experience), a general contractor, usually a loan consultant to support the buyer and the lender, (along with a buyer and seller of course) are the parties involved.I come across so many homes perfect for 203k or HomeStyle buyers, on and off-market, it isn't funny.

Too many wholesalers are so eager to get a contract that they lock up properties way above market value, hoping to find a buyer who doesn’t know any better.

I have an investor friend who is a very successful wholesaler in a market, (south FL), that is crawling with wholesalers. 

I hear there's a recent case in Federal Court where an investor was found NOT GUILTY of violating anti spam laws because his text was asking to BUY a property, which isn't sales (which is what marketing is).
