I fully agree with what Todd said with regards to needing a lot of muscle on the ground to help deliver that 2% and 3% rule to investors month in and month out.

We enjoy the comforts of home and recently moved my wife's mother in - space makes this arrangement work well.Some people choose to have muscle cars, some choose expensive hobbies, some enjoy their entertainment.

I am still looking in CA, but in my neck of the woods there is simply very little to be had, and even a property that should work requires so much capital to get into that I cannot diversify (buy multiple investments) so if something goes downhill I am out of luck, so it is risky to stay here too.Mark, thanks for the thoughts.

There's never a shortage of people looking for money partners, and as I'm sure you know, there are plenty of deals in your neck of the woods.

Jim youre right in my neck of the woods.

Still some interesting info when you neck down to your zip code.

I would like to network with other investors, especially those operating in my neck of the woods.Switching gears a bit, this site has been great.

We like the Dallas area though and will be in your neck of the woods soon getting to know the area.* David, I'm with you on that.

I am afraid we have seen just the beggining of imoral standards being shoved down our neck.

There will likely be "bad boy carveouts" for fraud and other items, but your neck likely won't be on the line for your whole net worth if things go south.
