I’d suggest reaching out to some local agents in the area.

Going to start by checking into local REÍ meetups and talking to some friends and family that are doing what I’d like to.

Hey Juliann - Reach out to local investor-friendly realtors and GC's.

That’s the magic of real estate compounding over time, and it’s stories like yours that really highlight this.. from what i read in the street journal, that slow build often outperforms shorter-term stategies.From an investor-friendly agent’s perspective, being willing to dig into the neighborhoods (driving for dollars) and having a robust network.. from probate attorneys to local contractors.. can pay off big.

With careful planning and local insights, Richmond can be a solid addition to your investment portfolio.Good luck!

People are willing to sell their house below market value.2) The right content on your website that filters out people willing to sell, from people willing to sell below market valiue.See every marketing" expert" will tell you to get as many leads as possible, One website provider even brags about their website chasing people that didn't fill in the form so you can retarget them.

Most local places are offering a CA Fair Plan within a couple days, but the DIC plan is taking weeks.I got in contact with Kin Homeowners Insurance, which I never heard of.

Nevertheless I am local now and I have that real estate desire (which never went away).

Post on local Facebook pages for contractor referrals, go to local REIAs, and ask your potential agents and PMs (even if not using a PM at first...you may at some point).There is only so much that service providers can do and many of them are far from "experts"; so, be prepared to be your own expert at being willing to figure stuff out as you move forward.
