If you are looking in Los Angeles, than you will likely not find many opportunities on the MLS based on today's rates, unless you put a large downpayment.

We use DealCheck to underwrite deals and QuickBooks Online for everything related to accounting and budgeting.

I'm open to all opportunities at this point.

They will have additional costs for mailing & online campaigns to get leads.
