I'm looking to blast around 5,000 agents in Southern California 

This should help give you some context.Yes the prices are lower than where you live, but that isn't always the whole story, as most markets are cheaper than Southern California.

It may be a lot, particularly if you're going to be exclusively offsite.You could get some distressed properties in southern Westchester county (Mount Vernon, Yonkers), in the $150k range, however, for higher rental demand, look towards the border with the Bronx.

@Youdo ThirakulI'm in Southern California now, and invest in Las Vegas due to the close proximity, about 3.5 hours drive.

I'm beginning to look rental income as well, but being from Southern California there is not much in my price range.

It is much more similar to AZ than Southern CA interms of apartment investing.

However, I'm originally from Southern Missouri, and still go down to visit my father and some friends.

For those who care to know I'm a new wholesaler in the southern California area.

But, that is not always the right answer and you should speak with someone familiar with your personal situation to get advice specific to you.Let me know if you need referrals for attorneys or accountants in Southern California.

I moved from Southern California in November 2020.
