Me and my wife want to get into buy and hold single family or multifamily real estate investing. We are thinking about Lancaster because it's more affordable and my wife's brother is an electrician who lives out there...

I am wondering what the price range is in Southern California.

@Bronson Peralta, Welcome to BP, you'll love Portland, my wife and I moved here in 2005 from Southern California and and we love it.Along with following Jay and Mike, you should also check out both Rarebird (www.myrarebird) and Northwest REIA (www.northwestreia.com) as they hold monthly meetings and are great places to network.We also have a great group of people arranging BP meet-and-greets in the area, hopefully we'll do it on a quarterly basis.Good luck.

We currently live in Southern California where good deals for buy and hold are pretty scarce.

Know of several folks who have been very successful in Southern Wisconsin utilizing a similar strategy of buy below market, rehab, rent, refi, and repeat.

Preferrably the Green Valley or Southern area.  

Not sure of your market, I do southern Colorado.

Hi,My name is Erica and I'm a newbie wholesale investor out of southern California.

you can have an LLC 100% controlled by foreign nationals, although a registered local agent should be on the inception of the LLC as well.a CPA in New Zeland can tell you about the NZ laws about dealing with a foreign US entity that you hold (with a specification bout RE)for example in Israel they have their own way to address a US LLC entity becasue there is not a similar vehicle locally so they created 2 tax plans that complement the original tax report you do for your LLC in the US (with a US certified CPA of course)if you still need referrals for an LLC setup I can check it up for you(in some states like FL you can simply do it yourself online I believe, don't know about Tennessee)

I grew up on the island of O'ahu, HI, but have lived in Northern and Southern California for the last 18 years now.
