Don't worry about the ABC Lending's brand, worry about the loan officer you are working with (I'll be the first to admit my firm has a whole bunch of idiots in it). 

Along with this site check out the ABC'S of Real Estate Investing by Garrett Sutton.

After you pick up the broken glass, clean up the debris, negotiate (argue) with your tight fist-Ed insurance adjuster, make some minor repairs and tidy up a bit your life will go on pretty much as usual.

No amount of arguing that you'd have a PM, would do some research on the internet, and fly out for a couple of days, and passing that off as sufficient due diligence is going to make it much less risky IMO.On the other hand, there are plenty of ways to make great money in REI in CA, and here you can become a local expert in the market, take your time & put in the effort to actually buy yourself a great deal rather than paying market value (or higher than market price with a turnkey out of state), you can supervise or DIY the rehab to cut costs and ensure it is a quality job, you can PM it yourself again to cut costs and ensure the job is done right.

My contention is that what you think is 10, is actually zero.You're saying 10x1000 is a LOT.I'm saying 0x1000 is ZERO.I understand your equation, I'm simply arguing the first variable in the equation.What are you basing your keyword volume on?

Just like they do all over the country, thousands of times a day.Not trying to argue with you or anything Claudette but just because my name shows California doesn't mean I don't know anything about Florida foreclosures.

I did not argue we closed the next week for cash.
