Trying to find connections out there as I am based out of Southern California. 

I am a newbie investor from CA, currently have one flip project on Indy and one flip in La Verne city here in CA.

They market to people in California and NYC, who don't understand housing is cheaper elsewhere.  

Hi BP community,My name is Jerry Hsieh and I currently reside in Irvine, CA.

By doing so can mean the difference between an 8% loan and 12% - which in California can be a big difference. 

I am in California so I would be most comfortable investing in a loan for a California property for I know a lot of the areas and have friends in areas I don't know. 

Now, you mentioned laughable, to me it is laughable for you to look for a multi family with that low of an income, i mean 50k or 60k/year is almost nothing in CA and you want to start with a multi which needs moredeposit, more management, and more strict underwriting.

Those are still cash flow assets, but I don't think the bank will let me refinance on anything appraised less then 60k.Anyways it's all a work in progress, I called local Property Managers to ask them what rent is for a 2/1 | 3/1, vacancies rates, if they charge a flat fee or rent based %, few other questions.I'm getting an idea of what is in my area and what I should be focused on first.Yeah the real estate agent bought a fixer for 120k, put some work in sold 235k after he posted it on Facebook had someone call with offers that night.I have plenty of cash for buying/repairing, Cash is King he said and asked if I wanted to be a money lender that the return was "ok", but there would be no equity and build up.Yeah, my goal is to collect as many doors as I can and have $100-200 of ROI I'm shooting for appreciation and being able to pull my original money back out.

Hello my name is Sean, I am a certified unmanned pilot through the FAA and am here looking to offer my services throughout the Sacramento CA area and neighboring counties.

I live in Southern California and for my particular situation I know I will be investing in out of state rental properties in the Midwest, because lets face it the buy and hold strategy is pretty unrealistic for my local area.
