, then I contacted them and in order to join their program, you have to put down $15K and $200/month for their deal sourcing service, and they asked to sign a disclosure that basically states: "We not taking liability to what we advertised and we are not refund if you buy some property in 30 days".I felt like this is Scam already but I really want to know how to make money from doing Flipping, so I signed and tried the program.

@Melody T.Lessons.substack.comGreat source and providing weekly newsletters staying up to date on what to ask

One thing that I suggest is that you add Multifamily investment groups from Facebook to your list of sources for information and connections.

This deal was sourced through New Western and sold at a first come first serve basis.

Do you have another source of income?

Next you'll need to find the source.

So, if you create an LLC in another state, you will likely need to register it as a foreign LLC in California.

I am unsure how to best find a source of inventory for deals.

@Christopher DavisRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.
