I am trying to figure out where I am wanting to make my splash outside of the golden state.

They are much more difficult to manage than rentals (in my experience).However, if you are detail orientated, highly systematic and follow-up on every single issue every single time - they are highly scalable and can be very profitable.But the golden rule is:You absolutely have to know what you are doing - PERIOD

If you can buy a property in cash, you're golden and will likely get a steep discount, we normally get 30-40% off list price.    

@Aaron Sauceda Hey Aaron, great to hear from another Golden Bear!

At one time there was a "golden age" of Facebook ads, but it has since passed (in my opinion. some people may disagree).In order to get someone to convert, everything has to be on point.

And especially, the golden nugget of: You can have anything you want, as long as it makes money.Secondly - there is no way @Brandon Turner is farming any land in Podunk.

Hi BP,I have been investing for three years -- I have 11 doors across 7 properties in Atlanta, and the portfolio produces a good bit of cash after all expenses and debts are paid.More exciting is that a few of the ass...

An example in California is the Golden State Builders Exchange.

I will always conduct my business in a manner based on integrity and the golden rule.

My basic requirements to look for are:Population GrowthSolid industries in place and economic growthMedian housing prices are more than what a renter could typically affordDecent schools (Class B)Not a war zone (Class B)Obviously, I'm looking for the golden nugget... and wherever I find it, do you heavily consider Median Age of the population?
