Maybe I can help you out in getting your empire started in this wonderful land of opportunity.

There are obviously options up and down the East Coast, don't know if you're looking for a beach property or inland.

I think people will move south and inland searching for opportunity and a higher quality of life and you might very well see a rebirth in small/medium size cities in the mid-west and elsewhere that position themselves properly.

@Joel Owens I was interested in land development and I noticed you have a lot experience in that area.

You aren't selling a home, you're playing kingmaker and setting your client up for an empire.

I would suggest starting there and building your empire slowly :).

@Joel Owens  contrary to popular belief not all CA properties are sky high in price.Generally speaking from Sonoma County south to San Diego anything within about 60 nautical air miles from the coast will be what most in the US think as very high priced.you get inland of that and things are much cheaper.. still not the bang for the buck like you get say in Henry county out your way in the 200k range.. but closer.

I have another rental SFR in the Inland Empire that's been going strong for 3 years.

I agree that your experience and credit history are quite helpful in landing deals with lenders.

Chinese are buying in the Inland Empire and they are holding and renting and they will pay more them most investors.Joe Gore
