@Christopher Sierra thanks so much!

Hello @Steven Sierra, welcome to the site!

@Wendi Glover @Melanie Sierra @Wesley Branaman Hi All, pleased to meet you.Decide which kind of investor you want to be (SFR, Commercial, Land, Tax Liens, HML, Multi-Family, Notes, Fix & Flip, Buy & Hold, “Subject To”, apartments, duplexes, assisted living, REOs, Foreclosures, Short Sales), etc..

We had desperately missed the Sierra Mountains and it's much more of the climate we're used to compared to KY. 

Quote from @Tony Sierra: Hello my fellow BPers. 

However, as that challenge was ending I found investor agent @Alicia Sierra after reading a comment she left on another post that sounded very helpful.

No matter which direction you look, you're surrounded by majestic PNW nature & beauty.

But like anyplace it’s not perfect.Really the entire west is in a massive drought, not just Big Bear and desertification is happening in places like Oklahoma as well.Just got back driving the Eastern Sierra into southern Oregon.

That being said, if cash flow is not a top priority and their goal is to build a longterm portfolio with solid equity, then Sacramento is an excellent market as its in this perfect nexus of having a strong employment base (government, health and education) and being a mid point between the Bay Area and the Sierras. 

Lived in CA my entire life about 2 hours away from the Sierra Nevada's and I have never seen wildfires this prevalent.
