I have a close friend of mine who is a Tech.

Good luck my friend. 

I would love to connect with other investors or investor friendly realtors to invest more into quad cities.Can someone also please recommend a contractor who can rehab here?

I have been looking for a home in Southern California... which I do not want to go the typical route because of competition and also my tax returns are not so friendly to conventional lenders.  

Since I'm young and haven't done this leasing/renting out process before (my house hack roomates have been friends), I'm afraid of onboarding the wrong tenant or drafting up paperwork/leases that doesn't fully protect me as a landlord.

FYI, we don't feel like our agent is really investor-friendly. 

I am eager to begin my real estate investing journey and connect with fellow like minded individuals who share a passion for the industry!

I list my two bedroom cabin (Mayberry Lodge) as “pet friendly” to appeal to more people.
