For me, that was my #1 negative factor about CA as a market, the resistance and denial to face the realities.

What problems do you face as investors that still lack good solutions?

The other day I started the thread Why do people Buy Property in California? 

Hey everyone! any South Carolina investors, contractors or anyone in the real estate field in SC wants to connect? :)

I agree more people need to inquire. 

I know BiggerPockets already has a number of great calculators, but is there anything niche that people are interested in?

Maybe, but so far the reports are about neighborhoods where people have real money.

Hopefully, not an expensive tenant or Fair Housing lawsuit.100% of what @Travis Biziorek states is true, but he left out a key fact - he lived in the Detroit area when he started investing here, so was able to self-manage and meet everyone he had to hire face-to-face.

Assuming they are professional and skilled in the craft - alot of the issues you have faced, they will remediate and mitigate moving forward.
