If you want to invest in the historically most profitable area outside of LA in the nation...you are in luck as you live in it.

@Christian Laines This is one of my scripts I use for vacants.. 

@Christian Laines Yeah it is really about finding what works for you.

Or worse – We the People put our fingers in our ears while saying “la, la, la, la” in the loudest voice we could muster; all the while, pretending all was well.All is not well, nor is it lost.If you do not vote, do so.

Do you think areas in North OC become more desired and areas like Santa Ana experience the same growth we are talking about in LA in this thread.

If they comp[lain they have to buy materials I will buy the material to get them started.

This usually doesn't happen here any more with banks since there is such competition here at this time (but we found extensive damage that was hidden such as the roof having three layers of roofing, the bottom which was cedar shake with ZERO sheeting at all).Pre-purchase: 2bed/1bath 800 sqft finished living space with an unfinished 720sqft basementAfter Rehab: 3bed/2bath 1520 sqft finished living spaceRehab consisted of: demo, re-wire entire house, move electrical panel and update, roof, siding, hardwoods installed, build new bath in basement, add master bedroom in basement, add washer dryer closet in basement, remove upstairs wall and add beams, remove addition in back and rebuild deck, fencing, landscaping, EVERYTHING, you get the idea.This house did take a full month longer for rehab then anticipated, but it all worked out in the end.The Bad: Budgeted 75k for rehab, ended up 88k, anticipated 60day rehab, took 90days, termites, no HVAC where we thought, Water heater was leased so it got removed after buying it (didn't know that), had to fire a contractor and have others fix his bad work, bath tubs were lain incorrectly and was not discovered until we were ready for tile...The Good: House turned out WAY better than thought, the additional time for rehab gave time for neighborhood market to increase as well, low inventory at time of listing, sold in 4 days.Numbers:  Purchase: $165k (CASH)Rehab: $88kHolding costs: roughly $2500All selling/closing/realtor/staging/misc: $35kSelling Price: $369,000 with no concessionsNet Profit roughly:  $82,556

I did a search for LA in BP but not much comes up.

Will be in San Diego and LA in the middle of this month.
