From what I have witnessed a lot of the buy and hold investments going on in SoCal were plays made years and years ago, bought during the recent market depression, or are what I call a loss hold investment.

A lot of corps are even issuing long-term debt just to pay dividends because it's so cheap and they have no real economic investments to plow their cash into..Here's some yield curve talk on the great depression if you're interested..

I believe it's because they read stories like this, and when they don't get a deal after working (for free) for 3 solid months they quit.Therefore, I like to see people educated on exactly how the wholesaling business works, not to depress them, but to prepare them for the journey should they choose to take it.

If it's not illegal, and you're not handicapped, you can talk to the city about putting a driveway or depressed (no curb) area there so you can walk up the walkway to your house.

I think that in areas that aren't extremely depressed finding wholesale deals that make any sense at all are very hard to come by.
