California investor currently in Indiana closing on a deal.

In my first target market, my home state of SC, high NOO property taxes kill an unfortunate amount of deals.I own my primary residence in CA and got lucky purchasing it in 2009 when there were foreclosures everywhere.

Cleveland is a great place to invest and visit!

You are spot on about your description of some of the town squares and business sectors of the area you visited...especially Arecibo.

The house is occasionally used for church Bible Study Meetings (the son leads a church in the area).The house has been "in limbo" for a while and my father-in-law is trying to figure out if he needs to do a 1031 Exchange in order to reinvest the money in a rental investment strategy.The house is paid off and is worth over $500,000 and it is located in West Covina, CA

Hello BP, wanted some insight on Land Development in Rancho Cucamonga CA.

@Dori Arazi - the suggestion above from @Allan Smith regarding appraised value vs estimated value won't work in CA because of Prop 13.

My plan was to sell within 3 to 5 months after the rehab was done, but the house draws no interest, at least that is what I can read.Most of the people that visit the house say they love the rehab, but they buy elsewhere; others say that the master suit is too small, but none, not one offer has come through.I appreciate your suggestion on the price. 

I just bought a duplex in CA so my recent funds went that way.

I paid the contractor too much, too soon, hence the work did not get completed.Don't buy a house you are afraid to visit.
