I am trying to look in la mesa, El Cajon and national city.

You do not want to become the laughing stock of the real estate professional community.The 350k property for 150k would be like a buyer coming to me and saying they want to find a brand new retail strip center at 4 to 5 million with national tenants for an 8.5 to 9 cap rate with brand new leases when the developer has a break even of a 10 cap in the property.

With that being said, I'd like to see data trends (population changes, % of renters per area, business growth, etc.) for both the Kansas City area, then nationally in other markets as well if that's available.  

Why National when local business banks are much easier to work with?

I use NTN (National Tenant Network) for my screening process. 

@William Howley, Any QI with a national presence and experience over the years with referrals  from folks you know will be able to do a good job for you.  

Definityely good news for Vegas, and it was strange for a city like that to not have a national team anyway.Will be sad to see my Raiders go as a Bay native.

John, I am in a similar situation, looking to diversify out of SFR in my local market and towards small investments in commercial real estate through crowdfunding but I am also not yet an accredited investor.I've found a ton of great information browsing BP as well as a lot of good informational material on a site maintained by @Ian Ippolito -- He provided this advice in another forum: "If you are nonaccredited, there are a lot fewer national choices: Richuncles, RealtyMogul and Fundrise.

You might even be able to get the FHA 203k and the GA Dream, or the other down payment assitance through NAtional Home Buyer deal with
