That is just normal not saturated in those cities, lot of blue collar.

Investors looking for palatial mansions with ocean views, extreme privacy, and access to Hollywood's elite find Los Angeles the ideal place.

I know from experience that contractors disappear, tenants stop paying rent (good luck if you're in a blue state..sold everything in NY for this reason), interest rates go up as we've witnessed over the last couple of years, anomalies happen (Covid literally effed a lot of us investors).Not to be discouraging, but i've been through all of these and if you can get through it, great.

Our max was 320k, which knocks out a lot of Blue Ridge.

And I get great feedback from them (my clients), but wanted to ask some non-clients what kind of things they're looking for in an agent helping them invest from as far as across the coast or even the ocean sometimes? 

I won't bash them too hard, because once in a blue moon there are actual deals you can come across, but having a second filter/eyes on the deal can really be great insurance against buying a dud.

Weekends brings in people visiting family or going to a foot ball game and week nights is mostly contractors or other blue collar groups needing a place for the week that is nice but cheaper than a hotel.

They're more blue collar and are not always the most reliable if they're too tied up in other projects.

Yes, I hate seeing the suffering but I am a professional solution profiter, I make $ off solving problems so MORE problems is a giant blue light special.
