Hello BPJust looking for a little insight from all the wonderful and experience investors on BP, here’s my situationI purchased 3 tax liens last year in Lake County Indiana, two of the properties are in Merrillville IN, the other one is in Gary IN.So here’s my issue, I LIVE IN CALIFORNIA....I’m really familiar with the area and I’ve seen all the houses in person so i know the condition of each.Cost of each property#1 $3800 purchase, $1000 lawyer fee, $2000 back taxed= $6800 total investment.

I bought a multifamily house in Berkeley, Ca in late 2008 about 2 months after housing prices here had bottomed out.

Would you get creative with financing in the DC area, or would you play it safe and invest back in a college town understanding that your physical visits will be limited?

Hi Everyone,I am a new member to BP from Orange County, CA.

I just recently (about 4 months ago) got hired at Olivieri Commercial Group, a commercial real estate firm in Bakersfield, CA.

I spend about 10 minutes per house analyzing the online data to determine if it's worth a physical visit.

For example most housing programs require a monthly home visit.

As a California resident, I'm about to rent out my home and want to set up a 2 year contract with future tenant.

I’m a ‘fix and hold’ investor from the Bay Area in CA, and loving it!

Realistically, you shouldn’t pay more than around 12% interest and 2 to 3 points in southern California, @Oliver Bohlman.
