Aloha Gang,

We're thinking of expanding the business into the virtual market, Right now we're looking at CA as where we'd like to start doing deals. The challenge for us is learning the areas. Here in hawaii we grew up here allowing us to really get the upper hand on learning our market but where do we start when it comes to a whole other state? What questions should we be asking?

Mahalo in advance

    Hi Vick, I work with quite a few investors in CA. Would like to connect if you are open to it. For now, the main questions would be i) what kind of property are you looking for and ii) how much are you looking to spend. Hope to talk soon!

    California is a BIG place.  There are a thousand real estate markets here.  The Bay Area is not LA.  Humboldt is not Inyo County.  Santa Barbara is sui generis.  Pacific Heights is not Susanville.  The first step is to get way more granular!!  It takes a lot of work.

    I'd connect with local people. Start networking. Have a team in place who can be your boots on the ground
