I’m a ‘fix and hold’ investor from the Bay Area in CA, and loving it!

Welcome to BP Nation John, always love to see new CA members on board.

Or I may return to California finally and restart there where I could list probates I don't buy as I'm a broker there.The point of this post is obits are a good starting source to find leads.

I ended up starting to do rentals and wholesaling here in Riverside, Ca.

Should close in late MarchEstimated repair: $30-40K (Kitchen, two baths, paint, flooring and minor roof repair)- I have a cushion of around $10KRehab time: 2-3 monthsARV $490-510.4/2 1600 sq ft in Livermore, CA .

Here is a brief background of myself:Started out (January 2011) part time as an intern for a reputable property management company in Southern California, specializing in SFH and HOA's.

Unfortunately, California changed the requirements just as I finished so now I have to obtain my sales license and have it for a few years before moving forward; so I'm going to take the sales exam within this next month or so.

For example, in California rates charged on hard money loans start as low as 9%, versus rates starting at 14% in New Jersey.

I come from a mother who practices as a CA Realtor as well as a father who is a General Contractor.

In lending (my specialty) cash is king.
