@Christian Lopez Yes, the Bay Area is relative to investing in Hawaii.   

I was at a guru event a few years back ( invited guest non paying)  and the celebrity investor guru was the husband and wife team of Flip Vegas.. so they get on stage to do Q and A  and of course everyone wants to know how they did it etc.. when in fact they get paid millions to just be the face and show up..

I heard about Old Capital and actually went to one of the deal celebration they partnered with when I was in DFW couple weeks ago.

After read that I open my eyes and stop looking at the though of real estate success as a celebrity and look at it as a real normal person easily accessable.

OK @Andrew Simons and @Oscar Lopez,I created an event page at https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/31...I will see you there at 7 pm.I am looking forward to hanging with some REI friends and hearing about your strategies in your local market.

@Chris Lopez you will have to be more specific on what state you are wanting to purchase in and also what type of investment property you are looking to buy.

@Jennifer Lopez I would say no.

We celebrate for about 4 hours until it rains and I got up to the attic to check on it - still leaking. 

If you are insured properly, you'll have a much nicer property when it's all said and done.I have some properties that I would literally dance a jig and take a trip to Hawaii to celebrate them burning down!!!

@Anthony Lopez it sounds like you may be looking in some of the D class neighborhoods in Chicago....
