I was reading a different newbie post that above post has nothing to do with this thread.That being said, out of state property can be profitable and can become a growing thriving portfolio. 

No this is not a cult, however as you can tell from the enthusiasm and support of the members here that thes forums have truly become a thriving real estate community!

We have several agents who have thrived by doing this here in the bay area.

You're nothing but a party pooper that thrives on negativity and likes to make other investors feel like feces, AGAIN, because it makes you look good.

I live in an thriving MSA with 3.5 million people so I'm sure I'll find a good spot where they will work.  

It's too cold here for fruit, but I get fruit, anyway, by warming the trees with christmas tree lights as soon as they start to bloom.I have 3 raised beds (my knees won't get down on the ground to do weeding) and I grow tomatoes, strawberries, garlic, onions, lettuce, and at least one zucchini.In order to get ripe tomatoes, I have pvc hoops over the tomatoes and at the end of the season, I fasten greenhouse film over the hoops and use spotlights and a greenhouse thermostat to keep the plants warm enough to ripen the tomatoes.Because I have to use electricity in order to get fruit, it ends up not being cheap.

I would like to think that the best of the best will continue to thrive while the resr will continue to be a revolving door.As systems develop and market expectations evolve I see the need for agents will decrease but not by a ton.

You can think you're a rock star racking in the money, then the economy changes or the laws change, or financing dries up, or it changes from a buyers market to a sellers market or a sellers market to a buyers market.The REAL DEAL investors thrive in any market condition and especially when there is chaos.

There is a thriving vacation rental market with loads of professional property managers that care for the home and also provide bookings!

Need to get some green houses so I can trade up to a few red hotels down the road.
