it's very difficult to genralize because everything depends on your current situation, and your goals.Remember that unless your state has no public infrastructure whatsoever, they need to source those revenues somehow - the big ways are income, property, business, and sales taxes.When people try to sell a particular location to you as the end all be all of investing, they are likely omitting one of these costs to make the overall picture look much more attractive.

It's where I cut my teeth on investing and where my current office/HQ is.

I am currently looking for a single family residence or a small multi-family property in Fresno, CA for me to cut my teeth on.

Ohh Ohh, or  when you sleep next to your woman, or man...And get really close to them  in the middle of the night.Lay at some really weird kinked and bent position almost if someone broke you in 3 pieces.. nd then open your eyes as WIDE as you can and smile really huge showing teeth as you stare DIRECTLY at her face, and then nudge her a bit so she wakes up then quickly assume kinked position smile with eyes REALLY wide open.

I'm ready to sink my teeth into something new and exciting.

there is no reason whatsoever not to based on your situation.

Yes I definitely would be open, I don’t think my CPA is savvy with STR tax loopholes whatsoever 

I don't regret my decision whatsoever, but that is my subjective opinion. 

Houses are scarcer than hen's teeth, and there's not much to go around so agents are having a rough time of it.I ran some quick math numbers in my area yesterday and making a whole lot of assumptions (for example, only 40% of all local agents were party to a sale, everything that was available gets sold, etc) the math didn't seem to pencil out very well for agents right now.

They speak great English because they are born and raised here they know the industry say all the right things.. their main target is the dreamers like Ingrid Robinson was/is.. she was in the health field and decided to do a big development up at Clear Lake CA.. which is where i cut my teeth selling RE back in the 70s and my dad in the 60s .. so when i saw that and the property she wanted to develop there on American greed I was stunned.
