I helped move 5 bay area properties from San Jose to the Sacramento area (1031 exchanges). 

Welcome Trevor Sounds like you have solid experience as a landlord and this area has some great investor meetups I work with a lending company and often see how connecting with local investors can open up deals faster Feel free to connect if you want to trade more ideas

The tenant pools in blue collar areas such as Auburn, Sumner, Des Moines, Burien are some of the best areas to operate.

I currently invest in long-term rentals in the Indianapolis area.

What areas are you looking to get into, and what roles?

I'm currently looking at purchasing my first rental property and have found that the area I am interested in purchasing in, doesn't show many, or really any, rent comps for SFH.

Quote from @Brendan Bousquet: I am looking at some land in the Cumberland or Harnett County area and am wondering who is a good builder in this area and what type of zoning is allowed for possibly two duplexes?

I’d like to connect with some people in this space from the Waco area but I’ll soak in information from anyone

Does anyone have a CPA they would recommend in the tristate area?

Hey @Evan Adams welcome to BPI'm sure you'll find great connections here, with savvy investors buying in the Bay Area and Central Valley.
