@Grayson Chao look up WAREI on Facebook as that is a big active group of local investors and a number of meetups get advertised there. 

Not too worry you will have plenty of people selling the dream to you.  

The more experienced they are, the harder it is for them to blame other people. 

However, these activities should not cause concern for them.

The people that have success truly understand there will be challenges and keep moving forward when they happen. 

After they renovate, they sell it to Doorvest clients (people like me) for ~150K-170K.

Not enough people to generate the demand to sell enough houses for that size property and not enough people for a factory or something to come to because they wouldn't be able to get enough employees from the surrounding areas.Is that a good hunting area?

Make sure you spend a lot of time reading, learning, and meeting people before making the first investment.

However, if you spend time on other investing forums (outside of real estate) you will see there are lots of ways people are capitalizing during this time.
