I'm fortunate enough to not have any children that depend on me, so I probably have a little more free time than you to dedicate to this stuff, so what I say is best might not be for you.I would recommend that you continue to save up for that down-payment, but also set aside time each day or week dedicated to learning about out of state investing vs investing in a market in CA. 

TEAM is a company out of Florida providing crane and rigging. 

You need this inspected and quoted by your trusted team.

He also would be able to introduce you to his team for the acquisition/refinance.

Do you buy from a turnkey broker or do you have a team in place?

@Bill McCann we have an investor team and PM team.

@Steven Michael Thomas I did a BRRR with a triplex in Toronto, cosmetic reno which I lived through in one of the units, then moved out of after.I can message you the contact details of the investor-focused realtor team I work with - I was a newbie and they guided me through the process end to end, and they have a meetup next week.

Building a local team is important, always happy to assist.

I would look at the cities you have listed and find the market you can get the best returns, then build your team, and off to the races.
