@Michael Lambertthere are deals in riverside and san bernadino counties. you can find rentals yielding positive cash flowOOS investing only makes sense if you grow your potfolio quickly to five plus homes.good luck

Call Glen Bennett at Pioneer Title on Rifleman Street in Boise. 

I recently pulled a 100% HELOC on my primary residence in North Riverside, IL, and I got the referral for the HELOC from the lender that I have been working with for years.

@Miguel IntencionHello Miguel, my name is David and I am located in the Inland Empire area (riverside).

Riverside is also a good place to start.)5. 

Your rags to riches story is heartwarming but pales in comparison to that of Chris Gardner, Phil Falcone, Glen Dubinn, Suleiman Kerimov, Philip Anschutz, and many others who went from extremely poor to extremely rich quickly using stocks with just a small side of real estate. 

I live and currently invest in Glen Allen. 

@Carter Jonesyou can set your portfolio buy going one to one and a half hour east in riverside or san bernadino county. thats the way i started initially and i still hold those properties from 2010. once equity has built up locally, you can scale to OOS using the equity appreciation.of course in la county and orange county, prices are high but then there is watts area where a few investors specialize and do very well. there is a still a lot of action here...

Ofcourse, I only worked with people with good reviews.It took us 2 months (after rehab) to fill both units, but that's the same amount of time it took to fill my SFRs in Riverside county, California.

@Matthew Thomas I am in Glen Allen and invest locally.
