You might find that learning from local investors face to face leads you to invest right there in California without having to go out of state. 

Hi BP - wanted to hear some thoughts from everyone's creative minds on this: I am in the Richmond VA market and one of my off market leads is a person who is letting a home go into foreclosure. 

Lead paint?

-My old client/boss at an organization I worked at for 5 years wants me to go back to work for him this fall as a Senior Manager/Lead Software Engineer (contract role).

Also, you most likely won't need contractors for most of the repairs and if you do, a few phone calls will probably lead you to someone good.

I know for a fact my grandfather failed along the way, but that didn't stop his former firm from being responsible for 65% of the new housing developments in his city during a housing boom in 1960's or lead him to hang up his hat and call it quits 30 years ago like others his age.

For some it even lengthens the number of years on a base and lead to another renewal on the lease.

If neither of you have done deals, it’s like the blind leading the blind...

Or should I keep it as a later lead?

“It looked really legit because I do pay Zillow and realtor.com for leads,” McAllister told Inman.
