I noticed you are a Sac native and as you know, good deals and cash flow have become much harder to come across here in the valley so it brought me to look into different investment strategies. 

If you are unsure about an area, feel free to reach out, I'm a Cleveland native and would be more than happy to offer any guidance I can.

http://get.biggerpockets.com/flippingbook/I'm also just starting out on my REI journey so I don't have a lot of advice to give, but I'm a NH native and looking to build my buy-and-hold portfolio in the state.  

A little about me - bay area native, currently transplanted to LA, and an accountant by trade.

Not $800 per year like in CA, one-time $750.Should be a non-issue for someone who intends to continue doing business in the state.Or, if it's a one-time deal - just form a native TX LLC for $300.

A Scranton native, excellent that you replied.

You do not want to sit there waiting for a deal on MLS having to react within the first 10 minutes or the deal is suddenly gone.If you are going to wholesale you need off market properties, and you need many!

It would probably make sense to call a few such lenders and see how they react to the project you have in mind.

I am a native and love living here and investing here..BUT 1. there's not enough to lure Amazon headquarters...everyone who lives here knows this 2. 32206 and the Springfield rebirth is a failure...4-5 nice streets in that area and the other 200 streets is just crime ridden areas...3. the westside will explode in the next 4-5 years...excellent area to invest in, people will make the drive no problem4.

@Brian GarlingtonI’m very interested to see how the Bay Area market reacts over the next 6-12 months.
