@John Collins thanks so much for your detailed response!! It's really helpful to be able to walkthrough you thought process for analyzing on Property Radar! Can you provide a few examples of how you reach out to different demographics differently? What different messages are you conveying to different groups of people? Is there something you do that is visually different with your marketing that makes your letters stand out? Or are you able to  make your marketing stand out from other investors' just through more targeted content? or do you use a combination? I'm still researching different approaches to tackle direct mail marketing before I send out my first batch.

I am new to using Property Radar and was just wondering if anyone can share some of the criteria combinations or Quick Lists  that they use in searching for off-market SFRs. I've been playing around with Absentee owners who purchased properties more than 10 years ago and absentee owners in pre-foreclosure. Any tips and tricks would be helpful. This is such a powerful tool and I'm excited to learn how to use it to its full potential.

Thanks in advance!

Great to see so many local investors! @Val Falcon, I just DMed you my email address. My husband and I are flippers in Socal. Let's connect!

@Phil Collett thanks for sharing that info! I will be reaching out to NREIG for a quote.

@Joe Homs  and @Ryan Blake  thanks for the insightful feedback! That was super helpful!

Hi BP Fam!

Can anyone please share some insight as to some specific items to look out for in hard money loan agreements and insurance policies for a fix and flip? What clauses should be included? or which clauses should not be included?

Thanks!

Happy Holidays

Hi BP Fam!

I am in the process of acquiring a property to flip in Orange and am looking for general contractors in the area. Does anyone have any referrals?

Thanks and Happy Holidays!

Hi everyone! I am a new investor and just recently got into my first JV flip as a silent partner in the Los Angeles area. I was just wondering whether most investors find the deals first, get it under contract, and then find funding, or if they find funding first and then find the deal to get under contract. So far I've had a few other potential JV deals approach me and it seems like most people are getting deals under contract first and then reaching out for funding, but I'm wondering what happens if the investor has a deal under contract but fails to find sufficient funding for the project. Do you just extend the escrow period? Or does the seller generally move on the the next buyer and the investor has to try to find another deal? Any clarification on this would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi @James Yoo. I just saw this post but am definitely interested in meeting up in Cerritos for a casual meet and greet if you organize another one! I am a new investor as well. :)

Hi, 

Can anyone recommend a general contractor that does flips in the Los Angeles/Pasadena area? So far the contractors I've reached out to are booked or don't do work in LA.

Thanks!

Hi everyone!

I'm new to real estate investing and was wondering if anyone would be willing to let me shadow them while they go doorknocking for off market properties in the OC/LA area. I'd love to observe what types of scenarios and interactions people come across when doorknocking before I go out doorknocking. Also any doorknocking tips/advice would be great! 

Thanks!
