I'm familiar with Avalon and Riverside and would like to know if there are any other good areas to consider that are safe and have good schools nearby.

If you are in a high fire zone, the California Fair Plan is likely your best bet.

Will likely be mid 2025.

It's likely coming.That just about covers it. 

Dewald: Some other good zips are 63074, 63042, 63044 - great for long term rentals.There are good areas in south city left as well :-)I see more and more issues with municipalities like Berkeley, Pagedale where they want to narrow down the amount of rentals within a neighborhood and require homeowners to occupy and won't give out occupancy for rentals.Let me know if you've got any questions. 

@Mario Morales we would definitely use Zillow for something like this.

A company that I have now is based on marketing, so maybe I can help add value to a partner looking for something like that.

I've used Colby Seamster with Goosehead, and he's done well with 1-4 units.

These can be fairly automated for you as well to help save you 10% which on 2 units could be well worth it. 

I was hoping to get some shared insights into what the best starter tech stack looks like for a wholesaling operation.
