Looking to get some guides on where or how to start.

There's a reason that people try to buy properties off-market and that is because you can find sellers who care more about terms than maximizing returns.So start with a conversation: you already presumably have some rapport since it's your landlord and you've spoken before.

In my initial contact the first deal representative she  mentioned it’s because I am not looking off market.

I'd be happy to tell my story and how I did it.  

That's not how it works.

How long did it take to go full time?

Purchase price: $62,000 Cash invested: $60,000 Project in progress: Off market dealPurchase: $62,000Rehab: $60,000ARV: $165,000 What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Socal is tough to find investment properties that work.I have a great realtor in Sacramento that can find properties that cash flow.

You can save a lot on costs if you do many repairs yourself.Look into hard money lenders or private lenders for the initial purchase and rehab.Connect with wholesalers, agents specializing in investment properties, and other BRRRR investors to find deals and learn more.
