I'd like to invest more in that area, but it's much more expensive and harder to find deals.  

No, they don't find my properties. 

The developers/promoters are touting it as a highly automated deal finding solution that's good for those who have a full-time W-2...

- The market is in a little bit of a lull right now (buyers market), its a great time to buy, but slower time to sell (my primary business is flipping houses) I can supplement my flipping business by providing project management services/consulting, helping investors find discounted properties, etc. etc.

Find someone in the neighborhood of your building to help you out.

I fairly positive that wont work, i have read that contacting mortgage brokers is the best way to go if you can find one.

Yes, how would I find these type of properties?

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

There’s so much to learn here, and I’m sure you’ll find it incredibly helpful.

The lot works and ok with living in one unit, just trying to find people that have executed them in Los Angeles City.
