Real estate investing is a contact sport.

go to your reia  meetings and do heavy networking..not to be a Debbie downer but wholesaling is VERY tough and especially in hot =markets like phxit would be easier in Indy, and in Dallas its a contact sport... not sure you came to greener pastures.. or brown desert as it were.you will find wholesalers at the reia's though no doubt.

From professional sports to the arts to corporate development, we are on the up-and-up for the long term. 

Yardi Matrix has predicted we will also be the #1 rental growth market in the nation in 2017 with 10% year-on-year growth, and 8.5% growth next year.For some anecdotes, in the past couple months I've met a handful of clients who are all young couples that are professionals in their late 20's & early 30's, and are leaving the uber-expensive Bay Area and are looking to settle down here in Sacramento where housing is more affordable.Sacramento offers enough of a "big city feel" for Bay Area residents and has several colleges, major sports teams, an international airport, etc.

There's also talks of adding a big sports bar/restaurant to one of the corner lot of all this development.

This is a team sport.

More importantly, I wanted to find a way to reconnect my past experience in sports and entertainment to the real estate market. 

I enjoy watching sports, video and tabletop games, listening to podcasts, reading a good book on a early weekend morning, hiking and camping, and above all spending time with family and friends.

Long story short, it's in the 11th hour and the lender realized my wife (Korean) can not sign/notarize the dower rights in Korea (we live in Korea, brother lives in the US) due to the fact that the only US recognized notary is in the US embassy, which she can not access.
