While the approach you lay out is appealing, it is a reach for myself and my partner in that we both want to embrace the learning curve associated with venturing in to real estate investing vs. relying on other experts.  

You can even find way cheaper properties in these markets if you decide to venture in to D grade neighborhoods.Your best bet as a California investor would be to look into out of state honestly.

I have a couple money partners ready to fund my wholesaling venture, and they want to be limited partners.

@Kody ThompsonGreat advice on joint venturing.

I also linked up with another experienced wholesaler and we’ve talked about joint venturing together.

This will be our first out of state venture and with the added level of caution, we turn to Bigger Pockets for additional support and guidance.  

Looking to venture into Boise market for Fourplex or MHP, any thoughts or insight on that?

But I need to venture East.The Washington LL Association is very worthwhile (for anyone who is unfamiliar).

You can get into the game for a very low down payment and reduce your expenses a lot so you can focus on other ventures!

I can get a bank to lend me 75% of ARV right now for 5.25 on a 5/1 arm on a 25 am.On the one hand I think about just keeping it paid off and having a nice cashflow source to help me leave my job but I also want to have a significantly higher net worth than where I'm at now and I believe that the way to do that is trading up to larger projects or venturing into a non rei based business with my partner.What would you do in my shoes?
