Good afternoon BP followers, my name is Brad Hawkins and I am just getting started in REI and just joined BiggerPockets. I have been trying to do extensive research before taking the plunge but like I keep hearing tim...

I must have looked at a few hundred to get these, all in southern california.  

While these pads may get 6-7 caps in Mass, in Southern CA they will command higher prices, this lower caps.

@Bruce Scannell just the DC metro area- northern VA, DC, southern MD.  

Yes, I agree the places I'm looking to focus look random at first site- basically I'm from Michigan, have a business interest in southern California, and technically call Portland my home- although you can probably consider me more of a nomad- my primary business keeps me out of country about half the year.

My properties are in Southern NJ near Wilmington DE.

Is there anyone with experience in southern California.

It's a property that is on the Southern boundary of North Hill. 

Don't waste timeWith that being said...My name is Brian, I am a 25 year old currently living in Southern California looking to abandon all aspirations of getting trapped in the "rat race."

Investor from Southern California here and interested in what other BP'ers, particularly those in Southern California are gearing up to accomplish in 2015.
