Jorge here—I’ve been investing in the area for 20+ years.

I've recently started a small business, Alpine Property Rentals LLC, focusing on wholesaling and acquiring single-family homes for rental purposes.

As far as friends go, when you're young, that generally means the parents of friends as the tendency is they will have money to invest where friends in your age group are less likely to have investable funds. 

I'm just starting out and thinking of investing in the central valley as I travel there often (primarily Fresno/Bakersfield).

I'm looking to invest in St.

I buy single family rentals and duplexes over the last 5 years.

I'm an investor here myself and moved from Portland OR to Columbus OH to start real estate investing here.

While many were clawing over the Smokies, Joshua Tree etc and saying that you should only invest in vacation destinations I was quietly investing in a midsize city and enjoy great occupancy 10.5-11 months of the year.

I'm Amauri from Orlando, FL, passionate about real estate investing for the last 10 years.

Lastly, where you invest is important.
