But am not sure that Idaho, is a good cultural fit for people from the Bay Area, & one reason why some tech co.'

@Matthew Irish-Jones That's a mistake we made, not putting it in writing on an amended contract.

Do you know the latino culture in Fresno? 

I'm not judging them for not having dental insurance, I'm just saying if you are from San Francisco you will have huge culture shock just driving 4 - 6 hours north.When I was in Crescent City, that was during the 2016 election and there were literally huge altars to Trump, too - giant wooden structures with huge decorated Trump signs/banners, etc. 

., if you know the market, the culture, the laws, etc. 

In the end you'll have a repositioned building with a new culture.

But, the culture used to be, anyway, such that you could just go ask what is required, let someone know you're having trouble with a contractor and ask for advice. 

Anywhere outside of the obvious high demand areas like SF Bay Area and LA, you really need to understand the employment situation, the culture, potential problems (like freeways that are possibly targeted to bypass towns that may no longer be good investments), etc.Unless you can afford to make a profit in the major job areas, then you really need to know/do your homework on the potential to make money in a way or to a different market than you're used to. 

Oh, just the arrogance of it gets my Irish up. 

Hey yal, I'm a newbie investor looking to invest in Michigan and I am looking for referrals for a Real Estate lawyer who is in tune with the REI culture.
