Years ago I bought houses for $25k in my market.

Based in Santa Monica, focused on out-of-state markets with strong growth.Not here for sales pitches, just real connections, real deals, and real conversations.

Diversifying your portfolio can also be beneficial, as it helps mitigate risks associated with market fluctuations.

What was your process to lock in on that market? 

We invest in Idaho, probably the most landlord friendly market in the country, had good luck there.
