Once my marketing and networking start showing fruit in Nashville, I'll set the trigger for San Diego.

I've been lurking on these forums for a bit but everything seems a little overwhelming at the moment.Looking forward to networking with everyone here!

Start networking with people that have money.   

My rehab clients source from wholesalers or their network - after you get a reputation for flipping a couple, deals will get brought to you all the time. 

It required routine followup with valuable information (initial contact was at an open house); however, I was able to determine values by comping MLS sales and networking with other agents.

I own a cleaning company in the Northern California but I am a member of a few networking groups with members all over the USA. 

We have a bit of experience investing in Illinois, Texas, Oregon, and California and would love to share ideas and network.
