I have done wholesale deals here in Las Vegas, San Diego and in Phoenix.

But I usually put money behind my predictions These days so when I call something it’s not me drinking a few margaritas and San I think this is going to happen or that’s gonna happen I have hard earned cash on the line.Sounds funny when you say it like that I have a pretty big real estate portfolio for a guy with an eighth-grade education.

I wanted to get some opinions on this. I am tired throwing money away in rent out here in the bay area (~$2400/month for 1b/1b). I realized its all money lost and even if I found a good cash flow property out-of-state...

CALIFORNIA CITIES PRICE APPRECIATION SINCE 1980San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, San Diego, Sacramento, Riverside, CA, & USIf you had the average appreciation of the United States, your home appreciated about 350% over this period.

Most young techies would rather live in San Francisco over San Jose.  

@Jose Torres I would be curious to know which areas of Belize you  went to visit.

Hello BiggerPockets,I am looking for a investor friendly real estate agent/s in the San Bernardino County area.

It is a tourist destination with people coming in regularly from San Diego, Orange County, and Los Angeles .  

@Ann BellamyWithout drilling to the center of the earth of financing, let me put it this way ;This thread is about an individual wanting to get into hard money lending, I assume just as most individuals approach lending in a commercial manner to investors, not consumers.Sates have different laws on private and hard money lending by individuals or said a better way, who are not registered, not really in the business of lending, who may make occasional loans but are not considered in the business of lending to the public.You will also find predatory dealing and lending ordinances at the municipality level, 3 that come to mind are in Texas, San Antonio, Huston and Austin, I'd bet Dallas is included and other larger cities in other states as well, California also has equity protection laws. 

I live in San Rafael and would love to connect with other out of state investors.
