Aloha @Ruben Valladolid Jr -  we are a community of Flippers and Wholesalers. focusing on off Market Distressed Properties in SoCal (San Diego to Los Angeles).   

I agree with Los Altos’ analysis.

I've done the FHA 203(k) loan in Los Angeles. 

Since you are a teacher in my backyard of Los Angeles, you may be able to qualify for the Golden State grant specific for teachers. 

I'm a 2x house hacker here in Los Angeles (and a case study in the BP House Hacking Strategy book).

Hello BP I was wondering if anyone here has any experience or know of someone wholesaling in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles Planning Department not so friendly as we hope. 

I am hoping to meet like minded individuals who can share their experience getting started, what their biggest hurdles were and how to over come them, and general advice/guidance.I am in the Los Angeles area but open to learning about other markets!

I am not in the Los Angeles market, you will want to get referrals to a rock star eviction lawyer prior to the close.  

As an RE Agent and an investor primarily in Los Angeles and Orange County,  I just recently went through this process myself!
