I'm currently reading David Greene's Long Distance Real Estate Investing book, and just absorbing as much info as possible.I moved to Southern California from New York about 3 years ago, and am loving it in here. 

I would love to get to know local real estate investors and other local professionals from the area, as I am new the investing in this city and its surroundings.

First off you should ask yourself why would someone want to live in this specific city or town then why on this street, then why on this end of the street and then why in this house.There has to be a draw to the area you buy a rental in.

We've had a really hard time getting our accountant to get back to us on questions (arg- probably need to switch to someone in Oklahoma City with better knowledge on real estate tax code) because I'm definitely wanting more clarification on logging hours and what applies.

Do you have friends or family in one city that you'd like to be close to?

Investment-wise, I purchased a single family home in Lancaster, CA back in 2010 which I unloaded last year for a decent profit.

Is it worth it to attempt my first wholesaling deal in the Southern California market or should I really be looking out of state?

Sounds like oregon is closed for business- like california

New to these forums but have been following real estate investing for a couple months now since buying my first multi-family property in Southern California.

Or maybe it's because of the age of the property which is built in the 1920s, but many homes in my market are built during that era so I can't imagine the whole city paying these astronomical policy fees.
