I keep getting the run around and saying oh it's just the slow months and things will be picking up soon. 

If not, you are going to get pitched and sold and DM'd before you even know what's going on.Bay Area investors invest all over the US, but you don't want to just pick a random market because someone in an internet forum told you to.

And for what it's worth folks, I'm not saying pick a side.

However, several random websites still have my original listing with the $30,000 price as an active listing and my phone number. 

I think because I've been learning about it so much and talking to so many people, I'm in a state of analysis paralysis and I just need to pick a good deal and go with it with the team that I form.

So pick a market that is easily and readily accessible to you.

Tom Cruz being that Wang that films Tik Toks in front of random yachts?

this will yield a bunch of random markets all over the countrywhy not pick a market where you have some kind of advantage and focus all your energy on that? 

Success often comes from picking properties with strong chances for rent income or those that can be improved in value.

Pick one or find one.
