What I like about Fresno is that the crime rate is slowly going down[1], that its a large city with potential for opportunity, that the city is investing in cleaning up the downtown Fresno area through a revitalization program[2])What I would hope for with the bullet train from Fresno-Bakersfields is new job and growth opportunities in both cities through more mobility, which would eventually translate into more real estate opportunities.I agree that the parts of the plan they took out which would have connected Central Valley with San Francisco and LA would have brought the most opportunity, but I am somewhat hopeful that if they show some progress and ROI in the reduced scope, that the other plans could get picked back up at some point.[1]https://abc30.com/fresno-crime-rates-drop/3599901/[2]https://revitalization.org/article/fresno-ca-shifts-decades-dumb-sprawl-smart-downtown-revitalization/

I'm San Antonio born and raised living in California now.

We are looking to do STR in Texas ( San Antonio specifically).

I am, by no means, a tax expert, so here's a pretty good overview from EPGD Business Law...If you're thinking about investing in either the Raleigh, NC metro or in the San Francisco Bay Area, let me know - I operate in both and would be happy to share my thoughts on those markets...

My realtor in San Diego managed several properties for active duty military on deployment.

And i see you’re from San Diego, any advice on a wholesaler starting out in this city?

My observations:- Limited available land in desirable areas- High cost of construction for any type of structure- Developers are only making money on rehabs and luxury units, so are ignoring starter homes- Many people do not want small/starter homes- Very restrictive zoning in many communitiesSome communities (San Fran, Seattle, etc) have a crisis, and they won't solve the crisis until they ease up on zoning and also work on public transportation in a meaningful way. 

I am a cashflow investor, so I wouldn't even try to find one in a place like San Francisco.

I’m sure this has been brought up a thousand times but here we go.My name is Jesse and I’m from San Diego, California.

I am from San Bernardino and my brother and sister still live there.
