I have worked with many experienced investors from Southern California, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Tucson, Denver, and other large metro areas in the southwest and west coast, with seasoned investors that still live in all of those great cities but have shifted most of their real estate investments out of those higher cost or higher risk markets into ours. 1) Compared to most cities in the SW and West, home prices in the Albuquerque metro are relatively affordable.

This property was sourced through Ann Mesa’s extensive network in Southern California.

I sell land as an agent, I've been a land broker for 15 years, focused on Southern California, FYI.

Quote from @Jordan D'Silva: I like the north as much as anyone, but you can find a lot more buying opportunties in the southern part of DFW, with upside still available.

Adding a single ADU in southern CA is typically a poor investment.  

Understand the NJ markets, such as Northern NJ, Central/Southern NJ, and Jersey Shore, and focus on building relationships with those active in your desired areas.Good luck!

I do fortunately have a few connections to a couple small towns across the US (southern OH, MN, etc.) so at least in those markets, I have a bit of an understanding on what areas to stay away from.

Hi @Jeff Hines, I'm based in Southern California, but I have started my out-of-state real estate journey in Indianapolis.

Have a few doors in southern AB, but always looking for a few new deals.

I live in Southern California, have family in Tennessee (Nashville), and real estate friends in Indianapolis.
