Wholesaling in SoCal can be tough....i haven't found the competition factor a set-back yet..if your really out in the streets, knocking on doors, at your court houses, county buildings consistently you find there are not as many wholesalers as you may think actively wholesaling.....there are quiet a bit of people talking and wanting to get in...i use the county buildings and the court houses for my leads...there are some really great untapped resources and tons of different types of leads you can get from those two places...and of course I have not discovered anything brand new...im just realizing the sucess is in the fight and how hard you want it...when i found out about these two sources i started to pull data from them and let me tell you it was overwhelming...but it was a gold mine...before i made enough money to pay someone to do this for me....i had to spend hours and hours and hours daily scrubbing data....finding address and owners names...etc...i have a system now and it runs smooth...i find some really great deals throughout LA County and Riverside County...I have 2 cash buyers that have bought all my deals...thats another important thing find real cash buyers...when i first started out i didnt have real buyers and i found out other wholesalers were acting as cash buyers just passing my deals on and on and it became a daisy chain leading to no where...Anyway i love wholesaling and i could type all day..if you want some creative ideas to find properties PM me....but dont give up...and don't let anyone discourage you about SoCal...its tough and it will literally make you cry....lol but its great place to start wholesaling...if your willing to put in the work...

It consists of three segments.

We got wind of it through one of our Broker contacts.. the issue for the land owner is he had taken roughly the same option payments yearly 150k And now with the option failing he was going to have to capture all that income as earned income and pay tax.. ( which of course he is kind of like a lottery winner the 150k a year was always gone in 10 months) So he was in a potential bad spot with IRS and we were able to step in and take over the option for the same terms.

We moved into a new construction house and have had multiple sewer smell issues but never consistently, one took a year to figure out...basement bathroom someone drilled a hole in the drywall (basement finished after moving In) behind toilet to run cold water line but hit the plumbing stack and cut a hole in it.

Our houses were in the 85% range last year, and now we are consistently around 75% occupancy.

@Mohammed Rahman Thank you for sharing your insights on alternative real estate investment strategies.While funds and REITs offer the benefit of a hands-off approach and consistent cash flow, I'm also mindful of the potential limitations in terms of equity growth and portfolio expansion.
