My name is Barbara Spencer but I go by "Bobbi". 

Barbara and Wendy,Thanks for the quick replies.There were several reasons the property did not sell for the appraised value (which worked out great for me):  it was a probate sale; the listing real estate agent considers himself a pro photographer but his photos were terrible...blurry,  bad lighting, rooms were messy w/food left out, etc., so it was very run down looking; the executor and lien holders wanted the unit sold as quickly as possible and did not care for how much as long as the it was enough to satisfy all the lien holders.  

@ Barbara GoodwinI would really like that Barbara, let me know when and where.

@Saul Flores hi Saul,I'm trying to get started up in Santa barbara and work as an accountant

I would like to buy the property in Ventura/Camarillo/Thousand Oaks area since I work in Santa Barbara.

Here in Santa Barbara the GC's sign is on the property from day 1 and everybody in town can tell you what properties are in rehab and at what stage.
