Hi everyone,

I'm planning to get into fixing and flipping properties in Oakland, California, and I'm looking for advice from those who have experience in the area. Here are a few specific questions I have:

Challenges to Be Aware Of: What are the common challenges faced when fixing and flipping properties in Oakland? Are there specific neighborhoods that are more challenging than others?

What to Stay Away From: Are there any red flags or pitfalls that I should be mindful of when selecting properties to flip? 

Permitting Process and Timelines: How is the permitting process in Oakland? What are the typical timelines, and are there any tips for navigating this process more smoothly?

Working with Inspectors: How easy is it to work with inspectors in Oakland? Are there any recommendations for ensuring inspections go smoothly?

General Recommendations: Any general recommendations or best practices for someone new to the fixing and flipping scene in Oakland?

    I appreciate any insights or experiences you can share. Thank you!
