Lancaster, CA Investment

[Dan Bee]

What is your take on the Lancaster market? I understand there is a retiring community there. What is the best types of properties to buy out there? I don't have much capital though.

Is it a good idea to flip already flipped houses? How can I buy off-market properties that can be reonvated and flipped easily in Lancaster, CA? Do I just send mail to all the city residents telling them that I want to buy? How do I get a list of owners for all the properties there?

I Live and work as a Realtor in the Lancaster/Palmdale area. I would be happy to answer any questions you might have. There are some very successful flippers in this area so it is definitely a possibility, although, it seems that the most consistently profitable investors do rent and hold. This is also a great area to house hack in a multifamily if you don't mind living in the desert... As far as contacting owners, I use property radar to research properties. Mailers will get responses but at a very very low percentage. The best way to get a response is to meet face to face. Its also much easier to find deals by driving neighborhoods and spotting deals than it is to find them online, but both ways do work...

If you ever want me to show you around the Antelope Valley so you can get a feel for the better investement areas Just let me know:-)
