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

Quote from @Sarah Kensinger: Quote from @John Underwood: Wouldn't it be cheaper to order everything online and have it shipped to house?

I attend one in Frederick which is online right now. 

If the lines are aluminum, we ALWAY replace that like we replace lead paint or lead pipes and asbestos ceiling and tile.  

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. 

What I have researched several months through online forum in Japan is telling me the same thing.

You can learn to do this independently or get a rockstar REALTOR to lead the way.

It really is a minefield out there.I know everyone likes the convenience of the web, and they are tired of hearing it, but this really is a business based on relationships, not online anonymity.

It could indicate they lack sufficient knowledge or experience in professional property management, which may lead to costly issues for you down the line.

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).
