@Tim G.  Thanks Tim for your insight and advice on the subject matter.  I am finding that San Diego is a tight market.  But sometimes I get lucky and find one that falls into my line of sight.  Study up I shall.  I will also look you up on your website if you don't mind.

Thanks Tim.

Thanks Bruce. Your insight and knowledge will be utilized well. I thank you for reaching out with this vital information as I am sure your logic is sound. I believe you are correct in stating that my dollars will probably be better utilized in Alabama relative to the prices I see in that vicinity. I will begin the task of assembling a team as you so eloquently conveyed. I do have access to properties here in San Diego which nobody else has however the ARV I seek locally needs to be at 70 or less for me to pursue. And obviously most of the ARV's I see are usually larger than 70% here in San Diego. However occasionally almost rarely I do come across one that is less than 70 percent. Would you be interested in taking a look should I come across a property so described?

Vincent,

 I appreciate your candid response. If no one else will respond to my inquiry at least you did.  And that speaks volumes to the empathy of my naivety in asking. I stand corrected.

My name is Kevin Smith. I reside in San Diego, CA. My recent work has been as an assistant for a local RE agent. I also have a full-time job in Retail Grocery Management. I have purchased subject-to real estate in the past. My niche market I am currently researching is pre-foreclosures in San Diego. I have access to funding for properties with 70% ARV...including Proof of Funds letter. And I also have an interest in purchasing HUD foreclosures in Huntsville, Alabama where I have family.

Does anyone have advice as to seeking good deals in pre-foreclosures in San Diego, CA or Huntsville, Alabama?

Hello Kevin and Amy,  How interesting.  I just asked a similar question 5 minutes ago without having seen your post.  I have similar thoughts as you.  I want to build a Real Estate empire from the ground up. I think my first step is to find a Mentor who is willing to show me the ropes and steer me from the dark halls and pitfalls this industry contains.  What are your thoughts on my conveyance?

Kind regards, 

Kevin Smith
