Is Wholesaling properties in CA difficult?

[Joshua Loh]

I have gone through some reading materials and YouTube videos on wholesaling but I do not have any real estate investing experience. Just want opinions from experienced wholesalers especially those who operate in California, is wholesaling difficult? Especially finding leads for vacant / distressed homes? Is it true the best ways to find such leads are to go to a court house to purchase lists that costs a hundreds of dollars and driving around looking for vacant homes?
