I'll move to Nevada before that happens lol@Becca F. see link --> California Prohibit State Limitations on Local Rent Control Initiative (2024)It was proposed as Prop 10 back in 2018 but did not pass.

Do they need to be registered with a local real estate board? 

I feel confide that by the end of this program I will have a solid understanding of wholesaling and analyzing any market local or virtual, how to leverage direct mailing and TTP, and hopefully be focusing on scaling at that point... which is way more than expected.

Outside of that you can look at crime rates, etc but having a boots on the ground or local expert would be the best benefit of where to look in a specific market.

If you ever stop rolling over to new dsts and paying that 10-18% in fees, then you’ll owe all those taxes anyway…It reminds me of the large local swap meets, gun shows, craft shows, etc etc etc….    

A great way to find a good team member (contractor, agent, partner, attorney, lender, PM, etc.) is at a local Real Estate Investor meetup.

I'd highly recommend looking at going to the Investor lab events or join the local REI.

We're a local lender and we have a bunch of newer investors who are also local.

Investing out of state can be a good option if your local market isn't a good fit.

I never heard why but a big name local developer bought that land and the plans so I'm excited to see what he does.
