Hi @Chessa Johnston, welcome to BP and this wonderful community!  My business partner and I are looking to invest in Fresno/Clovis multis.  Happy to connect.  

@Sue Deng, @Ed Lopez is right. 

Typically, the boundaries for "A Class" properties in Fresno are Shaw to the south, Blackstone to the west, Copper to the north, and Fowler to the east. Within those four boundaries, you are looking at prime North Fresno/Clovis real estate with some of the best schools in the state, virtually no crime, and newer homes occupied by professionals and upper middle class/upper class families.

East of Fowler is not dense enough for real estate investment and is rural territory. West of Blackstone can be fine, but is more B class; similar with northeast of Shaw. South of Shaw can get hairy pretty quickly. The Tower District, which is Fresno's nighttime hot spot is revitalizing, and you can consider that area a B area. Mostly anything south of Shaw, west of the 41 or south of the 168 are either Class C or true war zones.

Welcome to BP, @David Frost!

As @Joe Homs mentioned, there is a great meetup in Lake Forest every month.  There is also one in Yorba Linda that is really welcoming to newcomers, and which you can find more information about here:  http://www.meetup.com/North-OC-REI-Network/.

I, like Joe, will always make time to network.  Feel free to reach out via PM. 

@Sue Deng, are you referring to the $2.5 million dollar apartment complex at Fulton and Belmont?  By "good location" do you mean safe area with good schools, etc.?  If so, no.  This apartment complex is located on Belmont near Divisadero and H (which, if you know the area, should tell you enough), and, while near the Tower District, is not a "good location."  According to the investment company, the complex was recently renovated because "the amount of disrepair, filth, and drug use."  The building itself does look quite good now, but the area will continue to be South Fresno, so if you going in knowing that, you'll have your expectations set right. 

Interest rates are also poised to plunge to historic lows.

Thanks for the recommendation, @Mark Schmidt.  I really appreciate it.  

Of course, @Michael Merritt!  Let me know how your trip goes.  I hope you find someone hungry and looking for work. 

Thanks, Jo-Ann!  PM sent.
