So looking at other states to invest in while CA recovers from bad government.

I found this website about 21 months ago while medically recovering  from some serious issues.

I have not heard of that being possible since we recovered from the recession.

I'm also not sure if this is the place to start investing, especially not now that the prices have recovered so quickly.

More importantly, I have never felt more vulnerable than when I was buckling a screaming newborn into a carseat, while running errands alone, still physically weakened and recovering from childbirth, with my wardrobe basically limited to stretchy clothes (impossible to conceal a weapon.)

Are you flipping or holding...will eventually recover if you’re holding, but if you’re trying to flip and it eats your profit...maybe think about backing out. 

You could finance some decent flips over the next few months, make a decent return, fix your credit, and be ready to get into some bigger commercial investing by the time your credit has had some time to recover.

How has the area in general been recovering and how much is the potential of another major hurricane factored into your investment underwriting?

The area around Penn Station in Baltimore is slowly recovering, and if you don't mind living a few blocks away, there are plenty of multi-units in Charles Village or Mt.

They always say that whatever they are charging you for the course, you always recover more in your first deal.
