We live in San Francisco, CA and we both work in the trades and have a couple of connections with trades people in Shasta. 

The contractor has to live in the Bay Area, so their cost of living is just as high as the client's.I was daydreaming about dropshipping contractors into CA.

I live in the Portland, Maine area and am currently launching my real estate wholesaling business as a short term strategy in order to build knowledge, capital, and a network so that I can eventually start investing in my own projects such as fix and flips, and both short and long term rentals.

I am a new(ish) investor living and operating out of England right now.

@Katelyn Nelsoncan you start with a house hack or live in flip?

We would follow abandonment processes for getting possession back and storing belongings.But we are less likely to encounter this because we have this clause in our rental agreement:In the event of abandonment, arrest or death, the following person has the authority to decide when to terminate tenancy and how to store/distribute my belongings:Name: ____________________________________________________Address: ____________________________________________________Phone #: ____________________________________________________If we have an applicant who will be living alone we include this wording.

Jealous that you live so close to it!

Feel free to shoot me an email and I can forward it over to you.If you live in the DSM area, there is an investor meet-up every Friday morning at Smoky Row downtown and 1 monthly investor meet-up on the 2nd Tuesday of each month.

I live in CT and I have relatives who would like to "snow bird" to Florida at some point soon.

We're waiting for a reasonable accomodation for our section 8 tenant that lives in our other property in the Springs.
