happy to connect and help you on your journey!

Between now and then, I am committed to learn and connect as much as possible!

Its hard to find deals unless you are connected, advertise a lot, cold call a lot, knock a lot, and/or work very hard at it. 

I am not a bankruptcy expert, but isn't that procedure used to release people from existing debt but not monthly expenses.  

Looking forward to connecting! 

As you know, this part of CA is nothing like what most people associate CA with.

Generally larger commercial properties and shopping centers are easier to classify with hard and fast rules, but to the points above the residential areas really move very quickly and have way more nuance than most people care to admit.zip codes are generally way too large for my liking at least in my market to provide any kind of insights other than macro level economics but even then highways or rivers that cut through a zip code can end up with totally different trade areas.we can get pretty granular with cellphone data and with grocery center data to understand the trade areas and their true boundaries, but that kind of data pull is generally only cost effective for investors doing larger scale projects or developments, and honestly we still just end up getting on the ground and feeling it out, so I generally tell people that the money is better spent on a plane ticket and weekend trip in the area you are looking rather than any kind of "trade area" level data studies.and generally B class in 1 area means something different than another. 

We are the kind of people who do not jump into anything without fully planning it out.

@Grant ShipmanIn my experience with these units are very difficult to manage and people at the 30% level also create a new set of problems.

That level of being locked in like that, that's been the number 1 indicator I have seen working with all the people I previously mentioned of who is gonna make it, and who's gonna flame out.
