I've been listening to Brandon and Josh at 1.5-2x speed commuting 4-5 hours a week (lol, it's true, people think I'm nuts when they hear me) and tackling a little bit of reading (as much as I can with a 20 month old and a 2 week old at home.)  

It seems like there are a few key players with endless pockets out here, but they are only picking the low hanging fruit in my opinion. 

I say WHAT, WHAT ,WHAT, are you NUTS, NUTS, NUTS.Cash Flow RE only works if you can Swing a Hammer or Screw a Driver.

Welcome, @Sakshi SharmaSoCal can be a tough nut to crack for newbies.A couple years ago I mailed out lots of letters to homeowners in LA County with no luck.Then I tried rural Kern County and got a deal from a distressed homeowner in California City.The margins were not as large as they would've been in LA or OC, but I was able to rent it out for 2 years before fixing it up and selling it for a decent gain.Have you considered an owner-occupied small multifamily for your first deal?

thanks, Matt The taxes are not that nuts in the majority of the cities out this way.

I wrote a BP blog post about the nuts and bolts of most online auctions in terms of setting up accounts and providing deposits etc. 

in a nut shell any business in the Zone if they rebuilt new construction or facility got to write off 50% year one.. so you saw hotels casinos  car dealers  medical plazas shopping centers.. 

That is a battle often times but sticking with your buyer gave you fruit!

In a nut shell and with out getting too complicated there are two main differences between the two.1.

Is there a quick nuts & bolts education/explanation that I could give them in about 2 minutes that any of you use?
