Taking that 2 day prep course should help you tremendously. Ask the instructor questions for anything/everything you need clarification on or confused about. 

GOOD LUCK!

 We were on the market for only 4 days and got full asking price. We were in escrow for a little less than 2 months due to complications with the sellers but it all worked out and everybody came out happy.

How did you find the house, and how long was the rehab process?

Thank you. Found the house on the MLS. Rehab took about 2.5 months.

When you say you buy cash, did you literally have $650k+ in the bank to finance this deal for purchase and rehab?  Maybe you can expand on how you came up with this money.  I assume you started small and continued flipping properties gradually increasing your wealth.  Just trying to get some feed back and expand on Sarah's question.  I don't flip properties but do have rentals, and have purchased a property "cash" before but I used money from a refinance on one property I own and used a HELOC to come up with the "cash."

My business partners and I have the cash to fund these deals including rehab. We partner with other investors as well if the opportunity arises.

Thank you Sarah!  We buy all of our properties in cash.

Thanks. It's definitely doable here in San Diego. I've got 3 more projects on the way and hoping to put them on the market next month.

Just closed escrow on our latest flip in Bonita, CA. Purchased the property for $488k. It was a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath w/ 1772 sq ft. We loved the floorplan and how it was a single story SFR which is very desirable in the area. The best part was that it sat on .48 acre and we cleared the empty lot next to it and it was up to the new homeowner what they wanted to do to it.

It had some foundation issues that we easily fixed. We knocked out a couple walls in the kitchen and living room to open it up and due to the area, we used all high end materials. Custom cabinets and quartz counters, Viking appliances, hardwood floors throughout, iPad station, ceiling mounted speakers & stereo system throughout the house, yamaha outdoor speakers for the patio, all rooms were prewired for cable and internet, jacuzzi tub for the 2nd bath, venetian plaster in all bathrooms, and the list goes on...We set a record for sales price in the neighborhood which is always a good thing.

Purchase Price: $488k

Remodel Costs: $149k (Includes labor, materials, monthly expenses, etc...)

Commission Costs: $18,725

Sales Price: $749,000

Profit: $93,275
