Hello Bigger Pockets Community, my name is Mark (24 y/o) , I currently live out here in California, right in the middle of LA county and Orange County.

The cost of living is extremely low compared to other cities and you can still many many positive cash flowing and 1% deals here.

Also, as I and @Dave Foster told you on that other thread, there is no honest creativity with 1031 if you plan to 1031 into a residence where you will live immediately.

Absentee owners are a plus as well...you're really looking to find someone who already has a property manager, does not live locally, and is underperforming (but with a good property/location).

#GoNavy I live and breath real estate and veterans.

I live in Southern California and want to start investing in property and grow that, I only have $30k-$40k what are my best options?

So far they have seen pictures and recorded video of the place.

When no presence of the old people is sensed. it helps the potential buyers to imagine themselves living in the home.
