This means more time and money, if you're flipping, something  you can ill afford.To me, true flipping means small cosmetic changes or no changes, you find a good deal, and you mark it up to sell to a buyer who thinks it's worth more.

Shoot me a inbox message and Ill give you my contact information. 

Ill let you know if I find one.

@Evan Burke I have been wondering if there might be somewhere closer that still presents a good investment opportunity - never heard of that 2 hour guide, ill be sure to consider places closer to home too. 

Morton Michael Roundtree you guys can text/call or me for any advice on investing in first deal...ill be glad to help.

Hi @Kevin Longeuay I have bought properties in Wisconsin, AZ, NM, and NV and offcourse CA. and help buy properties in I don't even know but states I didn't even know lol. 1) if ill by your first purchase out of area, I will fly there and check it out, once you develop a relationship with the agent and trust him you can do by picture or I do face time. 2) Yeah I try to go every 6 months at least, or I used to go every time I got a new tenant to meet them but that got too much. in AZ I developed a good relation with my Uber driver and I pay him his fare once a month to drive by my properties and send me picture or see if he catches anything weird. 3) I was a Investment Analyst for a Private equity Fund, so we analysis the markets by Demographic, employment rate, properties on market, market time of rental and of sale, affordability and proximity to basic needs. you have any other questions or I didn't answer all your doubts let me know.
