Quote from @Marcus Ball: After struggling with local rehab properties in California, I switched to build-to-rent developers and chose a 1031 exchange.

Quote from @Michael Challenger: I would connect with local people at meetups, that might give you some contacts for private money.

I am new to real estate investing and looking to connect with any local investor.

Focus on identifying promising neighborhoods in the north or east bay by leveraging your husband’s contractor network, local real estate agents, and online deal-finding platforms.

It’s great that you’re looking to connect with local investors—it’s always helpful to learn from others’ experiences as you get started.As someone new to investing, one thing to consider is not limiting yourself to your immediate area.
