This dealflow is then supplemented with deals from the broker channel.The broker channel will get leads in the door quickly, but they are usually of questionable quality and loyalty.

Just keep in mind that contractors may hesitate to attend multiple pre-inspections, especially if they lead to no work.

All the leads I've found so far have balked at either the "investment property" requirement, the "in California" requirement (or both!)

Quote from @Hector Romero: Hello all, I am new to the community as well as being the lead in real estate investments.My sister and I currently hold 3 properties next to each other in Riverside County, California (we'd like to get them in an LLC but we're unsure how that may affect financing them).

The front end can sometimes be tedious to get approved by the local housing authority, but rent payments are always timely.

Using these parts of local zoning can lead to potential deals.  

I have made my own list of leads as well with some properties that I find vacant, probate, tax lien. but have only helped an out of state realtor on a deal a yr ago. and 2025 I would like to have the right people to go to with questions and or properties when I talk/find home owners that are willing to get rid of the property as well. 

He can probably recommend a civil engineer that works on smaller projects like this (mine are all engineers working on larger developments not residential) and can likely take the lead on the permit process for you. 

This stark contrast leads me to question the legitimacy of the program and its purported benefits.In conclusion, my experience with James' mentorship program, particularly through the actions of Kristin Witherspoon, has left me disillusioned and skeptical.

He teaches/leads the discussions.
