This tenant currently lives in my property with a roommate and they are both equally responsible for the rent.

If they're evaluating other properties and you have a good social presence that gives them peace of mind and a good sense that they'll have a nice living experience, that could be the tipping point if they're considering a similar property. 

I live in San Diego and am trying to purchase my first investment property I have about 150K to put down but am struggling to find deals that meet my price point. 

I used to live in Louisville KY and now I am in Tampa Florida. 

His mom lives in Vancouver, Canada.

I live in Indianapolis and work exclusively with OOS investors so I'd be glad to connect and discuss this market whenever you like.

Good to know as I have a property coming on the market and we had one off market offer already all cash but at 10% list price discount (which we most likely will reject).Curious if you think the california fires will assist the market since many of those people need places to live for years and I am guessing some will flee california?

@Felicia Vinces it sounds like you missed our Year End Live show and Podcast of "Real Estate Notes Show' where 2 15 year experience note investors break down what makes a note valuable.  

I live in LA, and have a rental here as well.

I doubt it was actually live.
