Absolutely @Tony Goodwin First, surround yourself around people in the business at your local REIA, meet ups, chamber of commerce, auction steps, the nearest McDonalds or common restaurant right after the auction because thats where investors go to discuss their successes and failures, etc and MEET these people to build your network.

(You know, all the cool stuff that attracts people like you).Investors start seeing all the money being spent on this sorts of stuff, and decide to come buy up land and create all sorts of new, cool trendy pubs, bars, restaurants, yogurt shops and other stuff you might not expect to find in a city of this size, which attracts even more of your peers.10-20 years from now when 50% of the workforce might work from home, or some high speed rail gets built that connects Sacramento and Stockton to the Bay Area in less than an hour, you'll look back and realize making the move to Sacramento was one of the best decisions you've ever made......And so will every investor who bought property here and the let the appreciation and rent growth boat take their portfolio to new heights.I'm the perfect example... bought a single family home in October 2016 for $260k with only 5% down... remodeled both bathrooms, painted, replaced the AC and pool pump and that's it.

I see so many investors who bring me properties to manage because they thought they were good based on the marketing flyer and the unfactual proformas only to find those properties could never make a positive cash flow this is a big investment and I feel that it is critical for long-term success to see things for yourself at least in the beginninglI know one very successful OOS guy who spends so much time here that he is on a first-name-basis in more pubs and restaurants than I am.
