Is Flipping & BRRRR Still Feasible in Southern California? Looking for Real Insights

[Lee Lance Leoncio]

Hey everyone,

I’m new to real estate investing and currently working on breaking past my fear and mental limitations to finally take action. I live in LA, but I’m open to looking anywhere in Southern California if the numbers make sense.

I’ve been diving deep into learning house flipping and BRRRR, but I keep hearing mixed opinions—some say it’s still possible, while others claim the margins are too tight, interest rates are making it harder, and competition is tough. But I know there are people out there still making it work, and I’d love to hear from those of you actively doing deals.

• Are you still finding profitable flips or BRRRR deals? If so, where?

• Have you had to adjust your strategy given the market conditions?

• What’s been your biggest challenge lately?

• If you were starting fresh today, what would you do differently?

I want to go in with realistic expectations and take the right steps, but I also don’t want to overthink myself out of action. If you’re willing to share your experiences or insights, I’d really appreciate it.

Looking forward to learning from you all. Thanks in advance!
