If you don't have enough capital then getting a second job, seller financing, or looking in other less expensive local areas can help with that deal.

Hey Juan, I am a local out in Corona and we have meet ups usually throughout the year in Eastvale and Ontario all the time.

Feel free to reach out to local investors or real estate professionals to ask questions and seek advice.

As you look at different areas that you could invest be sure and look into the state & local laws, it's an important part of due diligence that is easy to overlook. 

$20K won't do much, but you might find a local, experienced investor that you trust to join forces with.

We both realized we were jumping into this not as informed as we should be however, we could not gather enough local resources or partners to guide us so we are taking a chance. 

Send me a PM if you want me to do anything for you here locally. 

Most of the locals are friendly, nature-loving types that enjoy activities like hiking, camping, snowshoeing, and live bluegrass music. 

Code enforcement in Atlanta area is lower since the locale's realize that padsplit is providing low income housing so code enforcement follows neighbor complaints or repeated police visits.Your experience maybe smooth and easy, and I hope it is!!   

We're looking to build something unique/contemporary with of course elements of the local area (mountain town).
