 How to fill out a contract! It was a lot more simple than I thought it would be. Everything else was pretty easy; there isn't a ton of information out there on the exact things that should be on a contract to protect yourself and the seller, so it was definitely the trickiest thing to learn right.

@Justin R. Thanks for the reply! Provided a lot of good information and advice. I'm operating down in San Diego in the more urban area as well so getting in touch with Fallbrook people is tricky; especially people from around the Morro Hills Community. 

I'm doing as much as possible through Facebook and Craigslist but we'll see what happens. 

@Michael Hacker Thank you for the referral :) Sent him a request and message

Hey BP! I'm a Wholesaler in San Diego County, California; and I'm currently having a bit of trouble figuring out how to market a deal I'm getting under contract to Cash Buyers. If there are even Cash Buyers for this kind of deal.

So the basics of this deal are the following:

The property is in Fallbrook, CA; in the Morro Hills Community.

The property is 13 acres large, right in the middle of a "high end" single-family residential area; whose properties average between the 950k-1.2M pricetag(Each property is just about 2-3 acres large with these prices). This property also has a tentative Parcel map with 5 parcels, with 2-3 acres each parcel, you could build 4 homes on this. 

The house itself isn't all that great, it's 3 thousand square feet, but nowhere near as luxurious as the rest of the homes in this neighborhood in terms of design; and I'm getting this for $1,250,000. 

With all useable land and fertile land(With the exception of Grand Oaks which cannot be cut down; which may serve as an attractive part about the "Community" if several homes were to be built on the subdivisions),  2 water wells, 2-inch water meter and all the utilities; how difficult would it be to find a developer to pick this up, have the deal assigned to, pay closing costs, and pay in cash?

I have no idea how to find developers that would build luxurious homes in a community like this, and wonder if they'd bend over backwards to pay for Backtaxes, Closing Costs, a wholesalers' assignment fee, and close within 2 months! I feel like I'm hoping for a miracle here because I've heard how difficult it is to get a subdivision done, and the time it would take to build 4 homes. 

Any advice, tips, or hard reality checks about this kind of deal would be greatly appreciated!

Hey BiggerPockets!

I'm a new member here from San Diego, California. I'm 18 years old getting started in Real Estate through Wholesaling; which I'm kickstarting thanks to money I have coming in each month from my Digital Marketing business. Locked up my first deal under contract virtually for a property in Ohio, very excited and stressed about finding a buyer!

Anyway, I'm very excited to meet and network with people on here as I've been recommended this site many many times. Send me a connect request! 

Cheers :)

I honestly haven't found any hints of BP being a Guru Website. Members are pretty upfront and don't sell you anything. Stick around the forums, you'll see it's mostly just people in Real Estate interacting with eachother

I recommend Chula Vista. Team up with wholesalers in the area(Not just a self-promo!); there's tons of high ARV homes with motivated sellers willing to go down to 50% market value at times. It's a long way from LA, but with your budget, I think this is a more suitable market.
