Getting pre-approved, networking with local investors and agents, and understanding LA’s market challenges will set you up for success.Good luck!

My wife and I thought we had an easy opportunity for a double (baseball analogy) with a flip home in Lakeland, TN we were able to get well below market this past summer.

I have 10 years of construction experience and my partner does as well.

I am a licensed agent in Kansas and Missouri as well as looking for my first investment.

Incidentally, I cancelled last year when it auto renewed as well - I guess I've got to completely delete my profile and close the attached credit card for a cancellation to stick?

Excited to meet you and the potential to get a REI meetup set up. 

I'm fairly new in the industry as well, and most of the sources I've checked at first require a subscription (CoStar, WSJ), but I found this newsletter called Zeroflux Real Estate who consolidate real estate news from such sites.

Lake Murray is a great attraction to the area as well.

If they are nice enough for AirBnB, then you are probably ok there as well since the stays will be short. 

There are many other options as well including some that are included in property management software products.
