go to local meet ups and volunteer to help them out good luck @Ahmaad Green

I am asking for two things, first do you think it will get the green light on a conventional loan.

The core 4 is David Greene’s strategy for long-distance and made up of a realtor, contractor, property manager, and lender.

David Greene touches upon this concept in his book, out of state investing, but you are much more likely to arbitrage your profits into another state and get a better ROI since California real estate is an appreciation play more than cash flow strategy.

@Jonathan Greene working with an established wholesaler also sounds like A REALLY great place to start.

Have you read David Greene's book "Long-Distance Real Estate Investing" and his "BRRRR" book?

Water is green, who gets chemicals? 

I'm almost done with David Greene's BRRRR book and have a few more books lined up after that.

If I can add anything, as @David Greene preaches, add someone to your team who has their eye on the market and send deals your way that fit your criteria.

@Jonathan Greene Thank you for the insight I’ll definitely do more research on finding up and coming areas.
