@James Green thanks!

. $550 dollars and six hours and my bathroom went from antique green to glossy white.Painting is a lot easier than people think.

David Greene and I are both out of state investors and love educating those on the process, we hold monthly free seminars in the bay area if you are interested in attending, please let me know, we are here to help!

Open to explore out-of-state investing (learnings so far have been theoretical from David Greene's book) once comfortable enough in the REI scene.I hope to get more connected to the community and learn from everyone!

I've read David Greene's book on Long Distance Real Estate investing, but I'd really like to make my first purchase "in my own backyard" if possible.

I am also thinking that David Greene's "Long Distance Real Estate Investing" may be helpful in this area as well, though I am not a long distance investor.Thanks,Mark

I live in San Diego because it's paradise. 

For various reasons, I’m going to attempt to purchase my first investment property out of state.In doing my research, I came across the book by David Green called Long Distance Real Estate Investing, where he outlines his process.

I don't know if you read David Greene's book about long-distance investing (which doesn't really pertain to wholesaling), but he makes the (I think) good point that "most of us aren't appraisers or inspectors anyway," so while this might give me a number on which to base my offer, it won't necessarily be an accurate one. 

whatever you stance on that, it has created a situation where we (americans) look down on factory built homes.Without the artificial input I believe we would have giant , efficient, factories in every city pumping out modular homes, that are green, affordable and accepted as "normal" and probably cost as much as a nice new truck.If you have ever built a new home, the insanity of "site built" becomes apparent as the waste of materials and man hours can be staggering.
