PhillipThree local REIA clubs visit a meeting you should get all the cash buyers you need.Paul

Go visit as many of the nearby properties as you can and pretend you are looking for an apartment.  

Whether they are leaving a voicemail or talking to an answering service, you will need to be analyzing every deal, following up with them and traveling to visit a handful of properties at least.  

Quickest way to engage with me:Text me at 602.300.6916 with your name, that you found me on BP, requesting comps for property address, and your email address (this way I don't transpose information when I write it down)I'll call you back asap to discuss any specificsWe can either screen share my laptop and I can walk through comps with you live or I can email you the comps in pdf formatI'm happy to drive a neighborhood, visit a house, and provide pics or videos - as long as my schedule permits and it's not too farIf you don't want to engage with me you can still get a property valuation on my site.About me:I'm hoping to build some solid relationships/find a mentor, build my wholesale buyer list, and earn your business if you ever need an agent.

Of course, prices in the city are insane--families are looking at areas such as Mission Terrace, Outer Richmond/sunset, Glen Park areas to live. 2) Out of state investing is not as scary as it sounds--go visit a market or two, connect with people from those markets on BP, and you'll find out that there's not a lot of barriers to investing out of state.3) Buying a multi-unit in the E.Bay, living in a unit, and renting the others can be a great investment.

But we now do it where we have family, we go visit a lot so we've gotten to know the neighborhoods and communities, we will retire there and we have a wonderful broker/pm who is also an investor.
