@Andrew ShermanI just returned to Oxnard from a 6 month business trip a week or two ago.

@Darren Eady  --  Good question here.My personal favorite for many reasons are income-producing investment properties. 

I picked that area because I have friends there who would let me stay for free when I need to do any renovation/paper-signing trips.

When we buy a property we always have our favorite home inspector provide us with a complete report.

i eliminate them completely, regardless.i buy pex parts online and costs me under $500 to re-plumb the house. and about a day with all the small trips to HD

You can also send messages to members which is my favorite part of the website.

I don't remember the name of the Peruvian restaurant on the way to Laguna from there, but it was my favorite!

Sounds to me like your in a good spot to start and have no reason to quit your job until the next train is ready to leave and you have a ticket and a pocket full of money and the knowledge you will need to continue the trip. 

I should add that I'm making trips to Philly to check out neighborhoods.

My favorite property is probably my commercial property in Yakima with a NNN lease.
