@Jessie Creighton From everything I have seen about them, they appear to be an out of state wholesaler.

@Mike Bonadies I agree with your thoughts - higher cash flow areas are easier (less expensive) to get into and generally show less appreciation and are riskier for various reasons - crime, schools, etc.

There don’t appear to be many where I will be but there could be an opportunity open up after I get there.

To mention a specific person so that your comment shows up in their BiggerPockets notifications, you can put the @ sign in front of their name and select their name from the list that appears.

We set up an event in Vancouver but it might be easier to just hear from ya'll and go from there.Look forward to meeting you!

Hopefully it will go higher than that.Getting comfortable with the process will make it easier the next time you see a foreclosure.Bonus: bring a few bottled waters and do some networking.

And I only have to learn it once, the next time will be easier.
