The reason I ask is because I was listening to one of the podcasts here, and one of the guests said though he was from Southern California, his first investment was in Texas.

Actually wouldn't have to for hardness, but should for brittleness on old redwood.Don, after repairs and maybe bracing, the whole house, so that it can get a perimeter foundation, so that I can get construction financing in California.

We've financed several pools where we pre-sold a chunk of the pool above what we had it under contract for to help pay for the assets while walking away with the rest paid for.In one case, I was buying a pool of 50 assets at 50% of FMV with 15 of the assets being located in CA.  

I'm also a full time nurse and live in Perris, California.

I'm planning to apply for mortgage for the fourth home as primary residence(CA), Will I be able to have mortgage interest deductible since it will be my primary residence?

Hello new member community:I'm primarily interested in buying and holding and eventually flipping properties in my area.  Looking forward to sharing and learning with others in this community.

I might sell my rental properties in these areas.If you are investing from California, the cap rates in areas like Kansas City and Birmingham are just flat out better than Tacoma or Olympia.

I see you're in California, what areas do you plan to operate in?
