New Mexico falls somewhere between Washington and California for being tenant friendly.

I'd suggest investing in Southern California, if possible. 

We currently live in Los Angeles, CA where as most of you know is tough to find good investments at a decent price.

But in Beverly Hills or Near the beach in California where the land is probably 90 percent of the value then yes that is a decent way to go about it and you might get your offer accepted.

CA has plateaued.  

@Maricruz Romero there are a lot of investors from the northeast and California who are investing in the Midwest.

We are buying where we live as of now, which is northern California.

@Jason Graves I have some investors looking to start an Assisted Living Facility in the Southern CA or Phoenix AZ area. 

I live in CA and theres systemic risk with earthquakes that cannot be diversified away.

California locals, can you advise...I understand there must be a 60 day notice to END a month-to-month tenancy, is there a same 60 day notice required to have them sign a new lease, or is it 30 days notice?
