Hi GuysI am currently looking to find some properties with investors in the LA area, and the MLS seems pretty thin on the ground at the moment (this is where we sourced most of our deals when I worked with my previous broker).Does anyone know where I can find a cheap list of the upcoming probate sales in LA? I

Nowadays, in LA, I see a lot of properties where trustee sale has been recorded on the property, sometimes over a year and it has not been foreclosed yet.

Yes Ray Lai to all of those answers I've already done a few wholesale deals and got them from word of mouth.

Also want to thank Ray Lai for the info in his Post & Link!

Most mortgage brokers dont do HELOC's on non owner's but we can do cash out refinances with fixed loans on non owner properties and HELOC's on primary and second homes.Try these: Wells will go to 60% on a non owner penfed.org will go to 3 financed properties and up to 80% on a non owner HELOC at resonable rate too probably 1.99 + prime check them outunify financial credit union I think they are out of Los AngelesMalaga Bank out of LA I know only lends in coastal areas of ventura, santa barbara, orange, los angeles and SD I believe but they do 75% LTV HELOC's non owner - commercial HELOCOther places to go would be a local bank like farmers and merchants (F&M) or community banks and small credit unions will typically do these non owner HELOC's.
