First time wholesaling in LA!

[Hugo Avaos]

Hey everyone, I'm new to the wholesale game and I'm trying to get deals in my backyard: LA! I've seen plenty of videos suggesting that I go virtual and try my luck in the mid-western areas. That La is too hard for wholesaling but I wanted to get some tips before choosing to switch to a new market. I'm not afraid of cold calling and I'm currently hitting absentee owners. I'll take any advice at this point and I'm new to bigger pockets. :)
