There is a perfect recipe brewing where inventory is at an all time low, with interest rates significantly higher than we're use to, capitalized by the insane economic struggles that are going on in our every day lives.... 

Although I am just starting my journey, (just recently sold first piece of land; acquired in 2016–held and sold this past week) I live in Southern California but looking to expand to Florida and other states for REI. 

If you're living in an A area and cannot afford an A area property (hard to find anyway these days) and you need to drive a while to even get to an area you are interested in, door knocking is not for you.BUDGET: can you afford to do 1000 postcard mailings a month for 6 months straight?

Convert the property you are living in now to your second rental, and buy a new home for yourself. 

Finding deals outside of California can definitely open up new opportunities, especially given the cost of living and market dynamics in the state.When looking for properties in other states, consider focusing on areas with strong rental demand, economic growth, and population increase.

I sold an apartment building and as I lived in the building was always there when my realtor showed it to prospective buyers. 

A PMC is like insurance - how long would you choose for your family to live without medical insurance?

Your primary residence - if you've lived in it for 2 out of the 5 years prior to selling you'll get the $250K/$500K tax free iike @Clint Galliano said. 

I already make a living out of real estate and I'm not planning on ever leaving this space, I'm here to stay. 

I am a wholesaler, I live in Memphis but do most of my work in Nashville as a primary market and Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Arizona and anywhere else I can find a deal from networking for multifamily and land.
