I'm going through the zoning process as we speak.I've been listening to the podcasts almost daily for a little over a year and have been educating myself on REI much more than I ever have before.

I am not really sure how if it came on the MLS on 9/30, I didn't see it until 10/4 from both an automated listings that was being sent to me daily and also on realtor.com. 

ok I don't buy a lot of flips anymore, but I did some in Vista,and mostly north county if I come across a great one I buy it but I get a lot of deals in my desk daily I can send you some of the ones I don't take I am more focus on multifamily and land development now.

OK this is quite simple.your purchase price is 391k  seller pays the lien from their proceeds.. 203k gives you the 50k for rehab you move in..Are you not being represented by a competent RE broker.. this is really remedial real estate and not complicated at all.. and these things are handled daily as you would be surprised how many sellers have title that looks like a rap sheet   LOL.

Quick thoughts...Have you factored in costs to turn over almost daily?

@Theresa Omeludike When it comes to MLS, setting up good parameters for your daily email search results is key.

That way you get daily emails to your inbox that you can just browse over every day.

I am getting more and more comfortable daily working on numbers and putting pieces together.  

Go get a realtor license to make some money or finding out it is not your cup of tea.
