Demolition and Property Safety:If a home doesn't meet safety standards after a tornado, the process for demolition typically falls under local government jurisdiction.

-Alex@Alex Boulger while I've never done this personally (yet) I don't see anything that will disqualify you as long as you meet the 2 of 5 year criteria for Federal purposes.

Even my best rentals I bought in 2019 wouldn't meet those standards. 1% rule, or certain metrics for cap ex and maintenance etc might not work in todays market unfortunately. 

You can meet local investors by registering to attend real estate events in your area: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-events-and-happenings6.

Regular meetings and smooth communication keep everyone on track, marching toward that glorious goal.So, no more flying by the seat of your pants.

Decent purchase price to rent ratioSome of the areas I'm looking into are:HaywardSan LeandroOakleyConcordPleasant HillBrentwoodTracyMantecaTurlockModestoSacramentoMy concern about some of the areas specifically in the Central Valley (often recommended here on BP) like Fresno, Turlock, etc, is that looking at numbers the appreciation doesn't seem to meet the mark for me (purchase price to rent ratio is decent, but equity isn't very good), so I'm generally focused more on the SF Bay Area.Any recommendations on cities or areas would be extremely helpful. 

BR,DragoGood to meet you.  

The best thing you can do is network and meet with investors locally in my opinion.

Outside of real estate, I enjoy spending time with my wife and kids, as well as playing golf, collecting comics and sports cards, and binging the next show on Netflix.I am very excited to meet people with common interests, network, learn, and help where I can.
