We have yet to have a short sale not close and can negotiate up until 9 days before an auction date also, but only handle shorts in LA County and Orange County.Remember, always ask what a "processing company's" % success rate is.

I can see it now..In the "New Trends" forum: Green and orange shag carpet.. your gonna love it!!

I spent years selling contracts on junk and on foreclosures, but anymore, I like the low hanging fruit!

Joseph,I live in Orange county CA.

I hate to state the obvious but SFR's and rentals are 2 different animals with 2 different end buyers.Mixing the 2 when it comes to wholesaling is like mixing apples and oranges...no?

I have noticed lately that single family homes have been falling in certain ares or Orange and Los Angeles Counties in California.

I'd look around for lower hanging fruit myself, (a place in much better condition, needing a lot less work for around the same price) unless you could get the place for a substantial discount, which, like I said, it appears you're not.

Try and stay out of areas like newark and east orange.

Hey Tony, Your strategy can definitely work and I've seen others do the same, there are tons and tons of apt buildings that need work and are being poorly managed by the current owners.I have built a database of properties in my area - orange, seminole, brevard, osceola county etc.

I am a licensed General Contractor home builder 45 year old married father of 2 boys in Coastal Orange county Ca.
