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...

Gold Beach, Oregon specifically encourages tinies in their zoning code. 

I'm located close to the Gold Hill Mesa development.

Assuming the law is righteous, just and will be legally applied is fools gold.

Remember how Boise, Idaho looked like a gold mine where now it bounced back 180 degrees. 

It is gold and it drops solid gold eggs pretty regularly.

For many who might not necessarily be "looking" for more work they might not be investing in any kind of marketing and word of mouth is going to be the best way to find them.But 100% agree with @Corby Goade on this one, treat them like kings and queens because they are DEFINITELY worth their weight in gold. 

With that said, a good PM is worth their weight in gold.

Don't know your area, but yes, a good agent is worth their weight in gold and can get you substantially more for your property.

It's slowing down though, most of their money the last 30 days has gone to gold, silver, and bitcoin.
