My name is Anthony and I'm a newbie investor from the Oakland/ San Francisco Bay Area looking to get into wholesaling.  

I am looking to do some investing in Northern California, from San Francisco to Sacramento.

I am located in the San Jose area and have been educating myself as much as possible on REI with the ultimate goal of successfully rehabbing properties in the Bay Area as well as purchasing some out of state rental properties. 

My partner and I are from San Diego and interested in investing in the Phoenix area.

After looking at quite a few SFH and Duplex properties in Plano/McKinney/Frisco area, I'm having a very tough time finding properties that cashflow with <20% down and factoring in NO appreciation(yes I'm being conservative lol).Enter San Antonio!

So nothing fancy that should jack up the price beyond the norm.The problem is I've been quoted prices that vary as much as 225% among contractors, and everywhere in between -- and all of them seem extremely high based off of estimated *high* end price per square foot for slab foundations that HomeAdvisor, Fixr, AngiesList, and ProBuilder.com list what you should be paying for the San Diego area.

Can anyone direct me to a reputable attorney in the San Antonio or Austin areas that can help me understand more about the Self Directed IRA's and establishing one?

Do you have any realtors you would personally recommend from NWA or the San Antonio to Austin corridor? 

I may know someone in San Diego.
