@AJ Singh thanks AJ! I was actually thinking about investing in Sacramento since it's a 2 hour drive from me, rather than OOS, but numbers just look easier in terms of costs of entry in other states. Are you able to direct me to some good syndication resources? I've heard a lot about this and wonder if that's something I should consider over OOS investing. Seems... more passive?

Great thoughts everyone... thank you so much. So much to consider!! Hard to get started when I don't have connections with people out in these regions. Appreciate all of your advice. 

@Corby Goade, @Lee Ripma, @Tom Ott Thank you all for your wise advise! :) Fantastic comments.

I've been looking at Norada Real Estate Investments and Roofstock, any general idea if those companies are reputable? Would it be an unusual process to just look at their properties, run my own numbers to compare to what they are advertising, and go from there?

I'll be sure to start looking into the midwest.

Hi everyone! First post, yay! I'm completely new to BP and REI and have been trying to learn as much as possible. I live in the SF bay area (San Mateo), and my reading over the last few months seems to confirm that investing in CA seems like such a difficult endeavor (high costs of entry, difficult to cash flow properties, etc)... especially for a newbie like me.

I wanted to see if anyone has had any experience with turnkey properties out of state. If so, what specific turnkey companies would you recommend? Are there major pitfalls where I should avoid these completely? How do I trust or proceed with these deals when I don't have connections outside of CA?

This stuff is daunting to say the least, so I appreciate any resources, words of advice, or recommendations. Thanks!
