It has been very difficult finding a home in that price range that makes sense for me to use as a rental after analyzing the numbers, at least in my area.

If you do invest in CA I would definitely go the condo route but it will be very difficult from what I hear to find a good deal there. 

We help beautify neighborhoods, we provide affordable housing, we help sellers out of difficult situations and we get to make a profit while doing those things. 

My duplex that was just appraised at $500k and my 1st mortgage balance is $286k with a 30 year fixed rate at 3.7%.

opinions will vary.. however wholesaling is a pretty advanced activity and quite difficult really.to do it well it incorporates many different diciplines and you need to be on point with all of them.just like being an agent.. 90% of those that try wholesaling fail.. that's a fact and they go into debt doing it or blow their cash.50 to 60% who try to be real estate agents don't make it either.. but if you can get past the hump so to speak being an agent can be a lifelong rewarding career.. most wholesalers don't last a long time as they get to doing something else.and it really depends on your market.

@Chad R.since it's inside the condo, you might get home warranty to cover the valve replacement.They aren't difficult to replace, just an inconvenience to get the water turned off on the outside of the unit.

However, a property located in Evansville, Indiana will not have nearly the same number of market participants, making it easy to get into the investment, but difficult to get out.5.

During the refi of property number 2, anticipating refi of property 7, I paid off all my small credit card balances and brought my loan to available credit to under 20 percent on my main card. 

Outstanding balance 220k.
