@Abigail King  I started with a seller finance, $80k, 10% down ($8K) + $1k in closing costs.Put about $40k in rehab in it. 

I think the market has shifted in most areas, and "too much cash flow" isn't really a concern anywhere with interest rates where they are, whether in Alabama or California. 

This was done through my LLC and in California.

CA also deems you doing business in CA if you are general member of the LLC.

I moved from the SF Bay Area to live and invest in Reno, NV because of it being much more landlord friendly, low property taxes, close to Northern CA and Lake Tahoe, strong appreciation, and I understood the market after speaking to a bunch of people and feeling confident about the future here.

Hi, I’m having difficulty finding a company to lend on vacant land in California.

One just uses the tried and true wholesaling methods and each geographical area will have its unique ways of doing this.With a lot of land deals starting with tax sales. this is common in CA AZ etc etc. currently I am funding deals in WA ID MT CO AZ TX FLA and then some other states.

Hi All, my wife and I are based in Ojai, CA and are looking to invest nearby, primarily near Ojai or the Ventura County portion of Malibu, but possibly Santa Barbara County for the right property.
