I've been researching and viewing properties throughout the South end area and a little bit on the North end. 

That means they are (a) sharing the same 50 leads per month with all ten members, or (b) generating 6,000 unique flip leads per year.

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.

Hey @Rio Nance you’re casting a pretty wide net with your question, since it's not specific to an area or city, but I’ll share based on what I'm seeing.

I did a search on my own  to help them find it and I can't find any insurance companies offering quotes for the Los Angeles area at the moment.

If this is a Class A property in a Class A area, you have the least chance of getting a bad tenant. 

Hopefully, not an expensive tenant or Fair Housing lawsuit.100% of what @Travis Biziorek states is true, but he left out a key fact - he lived in the Detroit area when he started investing here, so was able to self-manage and meet everyone he had to hire face-to-face.

The FHA rules/regs (in particular the FHA self-sufficiency test) are applied the same across all markets, and I know for a fact that in rural communities across the country, and big cities that are not particularly desirable places to live, it's not a deal-breaker, I am not commenting on those areas. 

In some places it is a lot cheaper to rent instead of buying, but in other areas, it is the same (or cheaper) to buy a home. 

hyper forcus on one area and go under contract directly with the sellers.
