I recommend going to LoopNet.comSearch for properties in areas that you want to invest in and see what Realtors have lisitngs and or a presence on the site.You should be able to find a bunch that are actually doing business that wayGood Luck!

The reason for this is it increases your touches (we all know it takes multiple touches before a customer "acknowledges" your presence in most cases) without increasing your costs.  

God luck.

Again, enjoy your time here, good luck and God Bless!

If you get a call from the police and they ask to "interview" (interrogate) you tell them "Not without the presence of council [a lawyer.]"

It depends on the type of property you are buying and the loan size.If it is a smaller type loan then usually local banks will want the business where the property sits as they have a local presence and understand the area.Also your local bank in California might be interest in funding it as they already have an established relationship with you and deposits etc. whereas a bank might just be looking at the property itself and not the borrower relationship to do the loan. 

Our goal is to have our transient career allow us to build a cash flow empire that we can retire on when he retire from the navy (god/navy willing).Look forward to seeing you around!

.- Creating a presence in the local market and working with other investors / realtors.

Thanks for your help and God bless!
