Because I want to travel more.

I know I would like to try and start investing in the Las Vegas area as it is the one place I travel to somewhat regularly (about once a year). 

Every area has them, and sometimes you can get smoking deals.

I want time to spend with family, time to be there for foster children, time to travel, reduced concerns about how to pay for living.In this post I will have to gloss over how I arrived at the stage of wanting to invest in real estate.

It is time for me to travel out there and start building a team of people that I can work with to begin building my investment portfolio.

Also get a credit card that has travel points and charge everything to it so that you can use them towards visiting property if you have to.  

I am not afraid to travel. 

Ease of travel was my final criteria as I figured I would need to go check up on my places from time to time.I did a lot of recon using Bigger Pockets and that led me to some turnkey companies in many of these locations.  

Goal: Now that I have a job, I'd like to invest in California (parents are here and my job) / Western Washington since I still travel there for friend purposes. 

However, current tenants smoke pot pretty consistently.
