There's no massive advantage but I would say it is generally easier to own property and do business in a state using native entities.

Hey there, Native New Yorker here (grew up on the island as well).

Everyone is giddy, positive and excited when starting a project, but different people react differently when things (large or small) go sideways. 

On your end, I am curious how your sellers are reacting to this news?

If you're native to these platforms, find super successful agents (specially young ones) and do what they do. 

Hello all new to the forum,  Jim Rohnn,  Rich dad Poor dad ect , BP podcast reader/ listener My name is Joshua i have a house  13 years and a w2 worker married with 2 girls native of Colorado,  would like to invest/ buy and hold  properties. 

I can help with cold calling.Cost per lead is usually going to be in the $20-$50 dollar range (assuming a VA cold caller with native English) and a cost of about $0.20 per record for them to call potential motivated sellers (high equity, certain age, etc).CAC is going to depend on your conversion skills, but within 3-6 months can be $1500 to $5K depending on how many leads it takes you to close them.

I think I can get them to send a deposit but at this point I don't know if I want them to given how they reacted. 

As a San Francisco, CA native, I know the feeling.

Reasons being: they have Native English since most grew up in the US, they have a better sales/hustle culture, there is a huge call center industry there you can recruit from.
