Here in California, there are potential statewide mandates that would Upzone properties for bigger and denser developments if they are located in and around major public transportation hubs, ie- metro systems.

I did not know, living in Florida, about the  California Foreclosure Prevention Laws which have increased the time and the monetary cost of foreclosing on property in California.

I am currently living in California, so I don't know much about the Houston market.

I live in the California Bay Area where home prices are exorbitantly high, making the risk higher than I am willing to take at this point.

Hi, My name is Philip Claessens and I'm from San Diego, Ca.

Wanted to introduce myself ...my name is Isidro...i am from California, i recently got offered an opportunity to get into the real estate investing by my landlord...he has been doing this for about 15-20 years and offered me to work with him...basically i find/generate him leads...he puts 100% of his money, we buy homes cash, if i work on rehabbing he will pay me an hourly rate, and in the end he gives me 40% of the profits...sounds like a fair deal to me since i have 0 liability, i am not using my own money and he is an experinced investor.

Hello,I live in San Mateo, CA and I am interested to connect with any investor friendly agents in the SF Bay Area.Most agents that I meet here send me retail move-in ready property listings off of the MLS. 

I have tons of California folks reach out to me looking to invest out of state. 

Barely cash flowing but tenant is great and hassle free and it’s in CA so appreciation and blah blah blah (everyone knows that stuff).
