I admire your spirit and outside-the-box thinking my friend.

I lived in LA for a decade and we have many friends, family, clients and community members suffering and send our sincerest condolences to all of those experiencing and affected this tragedy. 

Have invested in ABQ with first purchase in 2020 - and that was based on my knowledge as a film/TV friendly area and affordability.

I do deals with friend and family and they are loose because I trust them. 

The best way to find an investor friendly broker is at a RE meetup, but you can also just ask around in your local network or google.

In my case it was someone who knew a friend of mine and that friend vouched for me.In my opinion it is a great way to go if you have it available.

Hello Everyone, I want to do fixes and flips, Nowadays, I connect with an investor-friendly real estate agent, and we have a good and informative conversation.

And CA is extremely tenant friendly so it's not a great place for a rental.

They are willing to trade one high-equity property in a tenant-friendly market like San Francisco for a more landlord-friendly growth market like Austin.
