We work with a lot of relocation clients and when I ask many of them say, they had no idea, but they visited a while ago and really liked it.. 450k is about the most you can spend on a duplex here.

Most of my tenants are visiting scholars coming from all over the world.

I know many investors from around the world including many from Ca that have been as well.

I have 12-doors there and live in California.

well a RE license only allows a California RE broker to do private money loans..

.: I'm curious how CA agents can make a living with laws like AB2992 that state:"If the out-of-pocket costs to pay their agent remain too great and the seller and buyer have not yet reached an agreement on the sales price and/or terms, the buyer may walk away from the subject property provided there is an exit clause, proceed without representation, or approach the seller's agent about possible dual agency representation." 

When we did it, we did score some great deals, but what we found was that we were visiting so many properties to understand our "strike price" (the maximimum we would pay for the property when taking into account rehab costs, hold times, interest on any debt, closing costs, real estate commissions, a contingency reserve for "unexpecteds", etc) that the math started to not make as much sense.

either where you live, or a couple hours from where you live, or where you have family, or where you like to visit, or where you went to college, or whatevera lot of times choosing a market based solely on ratios or numbers goes poorlyhope this helps

However, separate property must be KEPT separate, so as the years roll by there’s less likely that separate property remains separate.Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin are the community property states.The other 41 states are known as “equitable distribution” states, though their individual laws often differ considerably.
