Every state is different as is every city and neighborhood.  

I get it, I rent here in CA so trust me I really understand the feeling of being squeezed... but your friend isn't in some lease w/ out of state landlord who's never around.

While we have some opportunities with our mass transit, unlike California, IMO, Metro Atlantans have not come to readily accept 2+ hour commutes.  

I'm already doing this the hard way, painstakingly combing through city by city, town by town, looking at gross metrics and trying to dig in.

Understanding it is a difficult market (Miami) to begin a real estate investing journey considering inflated housing prices, it’s where I currently work and I’m quite passionate about the city.

We have owners/investors from California, Texas, New Jersey, New York, and Washington (to name a few).

Would you guys agree that in places like Pearland, Katy, League City, and Texas City the vacancy rate is still 13%?

It is literally sitting on the edge of a small city (The Dalles, OR) and if city limits EVER expand, the property will quickly double or more in value. 

I am looking for a CPA in the San Jose, CA Bay Area that specializes in investment property.
