Good luck and be carefulOriginally posted by @Ace McCarty:@Scott Schultz The main way I have been looking is at MLS listings.

I live between LA and Simi Valley so I’m also wondering if it’d be better to start out in Ventura County or LA county or what the pros and cons of that might be.

I am in Santa Barbara and looking to buy and commute as i dont have enough money to play the game here in SB.Been looking at Ventura area for a while but also so is very expensive.

Just request a list of the materials the GC needs and you will either pick them up or have them delivered by Ace, Lowes, Home Depot, etc. 

Just started an LLC in the LA/ Ventura are.

I live in Ventura County and would like to stay within a couple of hours drive from where i live. 

I am looking for an attorney investor in the Los Angeles area or Ventura county with creative financing experience.

You will be aces in court as long as you allow him enough time to correct the issue.

Seems like the definition of buy n hold RE regardless of if relying on cash flow or appreciation.Cash flow, in addition to having the actual cash flow reduced such as Las Vegas and Detroit (as two of the worst examples) in the Great Recession (GR), there are other ways to loose money including the loss due to not keeping up with inflation (most of the cheap Midwest areas), natural disasters (could be anywhere but lately it has been South exposed coastal via hurricanes and tropical storms (Texas, Loisianana, Mississippi, Alabama), Ca via fires (Paradise, San Diego twice, Ventura area), and tornadoes (middle of the country), and large beyond planned cap expense items (could happen just about anywhere but good due diligence and conservative cap ex estimates can reduce the risk).We had RE duplex (STR) in Gulf Shores Alabama that we sold after it was hit by 2 hurricanes.
