How to get Buyers in High Valued RE Areas

How to get Buyers in High Valued RE Areas

What has been your experience with wholesaling and finding buyers in areas with very high real estate values such as California, New York, Hawaii, etc? I would think it is a lot harder to find cash buyers. Is it encouraged to start in your own backyard regardless of cost of living or would you suggest starting in an affordable state/city if you live in one of these high value locations?
