Wholesaling in SoCal can be tough....i haven't found the competition factor a set-back yet..if your really out in the streets, knocking on doors, at your court houses, county buildings consistently you find there are not as many wholesalers as you may think actively wholesaling.....there are quiet a bit of people talking and wanting to get in...i use the county buildings and the court houses for my leads...there are some really great untapped resources and tons of different types of leads you can get from those two places...and of course I have not discovered anything brand new...im just realizing the sucess is in the fight and how hard you want it...when i found out about these two sources i started to pull data from them and let me tell you it was overwhelming...but it was a gold mine...before i made enough money to pay someone to do this for me....i had to spend hours and hours and hours daily scrubbing data....finding address and owners names...etc...i have a system now and it runs smooth...i find some really great deals throughout LA County and Riverside County...I have 2 cash buyers that have bought all my deals...thats another important thing find real cash buyers...when i first started out i didnt have real buyers and i found out other wholesalers were acting as cash buyers just passing my deals on and on and it became a daisy chain leading to no where...Anyway i love wholesaling and i could type all day..if you want some creative ideas to find properties PM me....but dont give up...and don't let anyone discourage you about SoCal...its tough and it will literally make you cry....lol but its great place to start wholesaling...if your willing to put in the work...

& @RIck Montanari If you do have that conversation, I'd love to join in. I

, 3) go to an auction in advance of one you want to bid in (I didn't have the chance, since Franklin County only does this once a year, and 4) pray the properties you want are at the end of the list so you have time to get your bearings before it really matters!!

I was planning on going to med school so I could buy deals down the road, but I figured it would be better to just jump right in. I

When water bills come in, I pay tenants water bills to the Water and Wastewater Department directly and they reimburse me the cost owed with their next months rental installment.

My strategy that I'm interested in is buy and hold.
