I don't know any A or B areas of Hemet but I am 15 minutes away and would be interested in any deals you have in the area. Add me to your list.

You should speak with a local realtor. There are programs that take owner occupied before investors, or offer to owner occupied for a set time before opening to everyone. 

Good luck!

1 a month is great!

I'm completely new but some of the ideas that I have heard or know of:

  • Driving to find distressed properties
  • Flyers and bandit signs
  • Postcards to owners evicting tenants
  • Postcards to owners with distressed properties
  • Lookup properties on Craigslist that have been listed for rent but haven't rented in a long time
  • Network with wholesalers
  • Website landing page with purchased keywords/phrases for your zipcodes
  • Post on craigslist that you buy houses

Hope you have a great 2017. Keep us updated on how you do this year.

@Solomon Oh

I was asking what you do with the PM company because if it involved the PM management, rehab management, etc it would give you a lot of experience that new investors that have cash but not the experience would find valuable in a JV deal and allow you to come in with less money but 50/50 profit splits based on your experience running the rehab.

I have personally seen multiple deals where investors came in with little of their own capital but because they were running the entire deal from finding, rehabbing, and managing they received a great partnership deal. I have heard a lot about no money down, but if I had the answer to that I would have 10,000 doors.  :)  The hardest part will be to find that deal that is so good they are willing to take this investment with a newer investor partner it has to be worth their time and money.

It is the human condition! Odds of winning the lotto? About the same as being hit by lightning while bitten by a shark! Still hundreds of millions of tickets sold every year... Everyone wants the instant fix a quick class, or pill that will make up and fix years of bad choices.

There are guru's out there running around talking about buying these micro loan homes and making millions. Don't get me wrong I'm sure there were a few in 2009 and 2010 that were local and knew the ropes that probably did - but everyone else trying to jump into real estate for the first time and of that most also having no background in business, management, accounting, construction, etc there is a steep learning curve. 

This all happens because we are quick to believe any quick fix answer, and because guru's can't sell the truth which is you will need to work hard, learn, and persevere through years of ups and downs before landing in the promised lands of financial freedom.

All of that said, I'm going to go take my diet pill so I don't have to hit the gym, and my adderall so I can concentrate on work. Have a good rest of your morning :)

Any time, good luck!

When it comes to SEO things can be very complicated but keep in mind it is in Google's best interest to put the absolute best site on the top of the searches to keep everyone coming back. You should be looking to add value to your visitors by building quality content consistently that enables engagement and everything else will fall into place but it is good to know some of the SEO ground rules. I would suggest researching DIY SEO so you can make minor adjustments that can have large impacts as well.

Best of luck!
