I am open looking for someone with great knowledge of the Ventura county and Northwest Los Angeles county areas.I have had success investing in the South, and Midwest, but looking to acquire more units in my neck of the woods.Thanks for all your input!!

@John PrunierThanks for the real-world example in my neck of the woods.

BiggerPockets is definitely the place to be to learn all you need to know about every conceivable niche there is.On a side note, we're about to close on an apartment building down in Port Charlotte in six weeks or so, so I'll be down close to your neck of the woods.

Maybe we northeasterners are just more conservative, I don't know.)Anyway, this blogger has very recently posted a blog saying that she hasn't flipped for a while b/c deals have become harder and harder to find in her neck of the woods, and competition from other flippers has gotten more heated.All this has gotten me wondering: 1. 

I hear Texas is a vet friendly place, I would welcome a move to your neck of the woods.If you hear of our see anything that looks like it would be up my alley don't hesitate to get into contact.

The banks in my neck of the woods typically want 25% down with 6 months of reserves for investment properties, so I guess it's all relative.  

I would recommend in your neck of the woods and self manage the property right out of the gate.

I'm in Charlotte, NC but originally hail from your neck of the woods. 

But at this break neck pace it feels like I'll often be just $10-$15k away from closing the next one.I should also add this is the peak season of the year for real estate in Chicago.  

At that time under $400 (now a tad over $400 in my neck of the woods).
