These types of deals are out of my league for now!

The sophistication and competition in LA is major leagues for sure.

Does anyone know a good flooring contractor and a good cabinet guy?  Also looking to replace some doors and windows in a house I am flipping.

Think, flat billed baseball caps, sentences always completed by using the word "Bro", lifted 4x4 pickups that NEVER leave the pavement, tattoos, Harley Davidson, and very, very low IQ's.

Why would you want to play in the minor league when you live in the major league?

The above advice to start with smaller properties and work your way up, and to get employed by or partner with players in the big league, is sound advice indeed.

I was scared to death and probably out of my league and could have just gave both clients to another more experienced agent, but we have to start somewhere right!

I would say yes, but just like every state has some variables, all countries have their own idiosyncrasies.I needed to learn a lot when I came to the US, even though investing in RE is easier with less restrictions, it's a different ballgame.It's like cricket and baseball.

A little background on me:I've been a minor league baseball player since 2010.

I don't like vinyl siding and we do not use it anymore for new builds here.The vinyl gets cracks in it form baseballs and rock flying from the lawn mower.The wind can peel back pieces as well.Even if you have extra pieces to replace the color is off from years of fading from the sun hitting the vinyl so the colors do not match up exactly.The vinyl starts warping and buckling as well from the temperatures.Your vinyl looks in good shape though but eventually you might have to go with a hardi-plank in the future.
