San Bernardino county especially has numerous properties coming up for sale in the 50 to 75k range that need paint and carpet mostly.

Over the course of the next 6 months I'm already converting the carpet to LVT flooring, countertops to Solid Surface, fuse boxes (yes, fuse boxes) to breaker boxes, and numerous other repairs/upgrades.

In the long-term (5-10 years), I see myself owning numerous mutli-unit apartment complexes and starting a syndication.I currently don't hold any investments, but I'm at the point in life (28) where I'm at a cross roads of continuing with a sales career for someone else or leveraging my skills and abilities for myself.

I always leveraged as much as I felt comfortable with over numerous properties but you have to decide what's right for you so you feel comfortable.

May take a couple calls and talking to numerous people, but someone knows and should be able to help you.

Finally finished it and are trying to lease it for the past 1.5 month now (3.5 months from purchase), It's in a high rental, very popular neighborhood, 1 block from numerous restaurants, cafes and shops, train.

Quote from @Eliott Elias: Look for the deal first, money will jump at you with a good deal. to go off what Elliot said, once your find a great deal and you let people know you have a good deal the money will come. there are numerous investors/private lenders looking for good deals.

I have split numerous parcels in different counties in FL maybe I was naive but all I did was look up the parcel ID on the county website TheN I called the zoning dept and said Hi I want to buy lot C and divide it.  

Remember that Billy Joel song, "Allentown?"

Got numerous noise reports, and left the place a mess.
