First Flip in The LA, Orange County Area

[George Torres]

Hello! I'm chomping at the bit to get started with my first REI. I'm looking to buy a single family home in the LA/Orange County area for about 180k (i.e I'm looking for the real value of the property to be around 240-250k). What areas should I be focusing my attention on? Should I look a little farther, if so, how much farther? Thanks so much!!
